A Timebased recording can be scheduled, where you manually set the recording name, channel, start date, start time, duration, recording days and parental guidance setting.

A Timebased recording will appear as a single recording in the playlist, even if the duration spans multiple programs, and the individual program information within the recording cannot be accessed.

Because individual program information cannot be accessed, an overall parental block setting for the recording can be set. Choosing Parental Setting “ON” means the Parental guidance pin will need to be entered before the playback can start.

The maximum duration of a time based recording is 24 hours.
