How do I record a programme?

Recording your favourite programmes is easy, and you can manage everything from the Recordings section of your Freesat box.

There are four ways to set up a recording:

1. One-touch record from live TV

To record the programme you're currently watching, press R on your remote.

An R symbol will appear next to the programme name to confirm it's being recorded.

2. From the TV Guide

Highlight the programme you want to record and press R on your remote.

The R symbol will appear next to the programme name to confirm it's scheduled.

3. Record a whole series using Series Link

To record every episode in a series:

  1. Highlight the programme in the guide.
  2. Press OK.
  3. Select Record Series.

If the programme is available in HD, you’ll be asked whether you want to record the HD or SD version.

When a series is successfully set to record, you’ll see a different icon (rectangular and layered) to show it’s part of a Series Link.
