About ‘VPS/PDC’
‘VPS’ (Video Programming System) or
‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
controls the start and duration of TV
channel recordings. If a TV programme
starts earlier or ends later than was
scheduled, the recorder will start/end the
recording accordingly.
The VPS/PDC recording option can only
be used to record an entire programme
from its beginning to the end. To set a
timer that is different from the VPS/PDC
broadcast time, you must disable the
VPS/PDC recording option.
Note: Programme Delivery Control
(PDC) is not available to users in the UK.
Any reference made is not valid.
