2 . The Recordings and Timers Screen
The Recordings and Timers screen shows
subfolders in the current folder, recordings
available to play in the current folder, and
upcoming timers waiting to happen, ordered by
time.
At the top of the Recordings and Timers screen
is a line representing the hard disk, separated
into two regions: used (dark turquoise in the
images) and unused (light turquoise). The disk
space taken by the currently selected recording
(if post-record) or timer (if pre-record –
approximate) is also shown as a portion of the
bar (yellow in the lower image).
Figures also show the number of hours
recorded, waiting to be recorded (‘reserved’)
and (approximately) remaining.
The lower pane of the screen will show (a
portion of) the information for a selected recording. If available and enabled (see
Configuration page section below) a thumbnail scene from the recording is also shown. This
defaults to the ‘last viewed’ scene, but up to six thumbnails spread across the recording will
be generated, either when chosen by the user (see [SWAP/PIP] in this section below) or
automatically overnight.
Access the recordings and timers screen by pressing the [ARCHIVE] button. [EXIT] will
close the screen and revert to the current channel. Recording and timers may be split into
separate screens, according to a Configuration choice. If this is in effect, pressing
[ARCHIVE] while in one of the screens will toggle to the other; if it is not in effect,
[ARCHIVE] acts as [EXIT], returning to the current broadcast again.
Other key actions:
[RED]: Moves a page up i.e. to the previous seven events
[GREEN]: Moves a page down
[YELLOW]: ‘First’ or ‘Up’: Jumps to the first item in the current folder (i.e. the
highest up the list) or, if that item is currently highlighted and you’re
looking at a subfolder, causes iGuide to navigate up to the parent
folder and display its contents instead.
[BLUE]: Asks for confirmation to delete the currently selected recording, timer
or series. Pressing [YELLOW] will confirm the deletion; any other
key cancels.
[UP/DOWN]: Move to the previous/next event.
