  2. Select My TV
  3. Media Center Start menu with My TV selected
  4. On the My TV page, select Recorded TV.

  9. To end playback at any time, press STOP on your remote. When you stop the show or when playback is complete, select from the following options:

    • Resume. Continue playing the show from the point you pressed STOP on your remote. This option appears only if you stopped the show before the end.
    • Restart. Replay the recorded TV show from the beginning.
    • Delete. Delete the recorded TV show to clear space to record additional shows. When prompted, select Yes.
    • Keep. Choose how long to keep the show on the Keep Until page, and then return to the Recorded TV page.

    You can delete shows after you view them to make room for new shows. To conserve space while saving a show for later viewing, burn your recorded TV show to a CD or DVD.
