Live TV recording file vs. Recording file

[nlt499]

I thought there was a way to have Beyond TV store the files that get recorded for live TV viewing in one file and have your recorded content go to another file. I just loaded Beyond TV 4.6.1 and couldn't find this option. I thought I remembered being able to do this with version 3. Does anyone know how to do this?

Live TV and recordings go to the same directory by default. You can override the individual recording jobs to go to different directories

Ok, so the "recorded shows" directory in Beyond TV, where it shows you how much time you have left to record, would be for the defaut directory which is where live TV files go.

How do you tell an individual recording to go to a specific drectory? Can you do that with recurring recordings?

The time left is based on your default/Live TV recording directory.

You can change the recurring recording in the FSI (view and edit details) or in Web Admin/Setup Recordings/Edit/and change Target Video Folder
