Recordings

Record live TV and catch-up (where supported). Save to USB or network storage and watch on your schedule.

How recording works

Availability varies by app/source and region.

  • Source support: Some channels/apps allow recording; others may restrict it.
  • Storage: USB drive, microSD, or network share (NAS/SMB) recommended.
  • Quality: Up to 4K where the source allows it; file size grows with bitrate.
  • Scheduling: Start/stop manually or schedule from the TV guide (EPG) if provided.
  • Catch-up: Many sources offer replay/catch-up—great for missed shows without storing files.

Quick start

  2. Open your TV app and pick a channel or program.
  3. Choose Record (●) or Schedule from the guide.
