<strong>SageTV</strong> V7.0 User’s <strong>Guide</strong> Chapter 2: Installation and Setup Page 24<br />

This is an extremely powerful feature that many of our users take advantage of, but which we set<br />

to “Disabled” by default, since your first few weeks of using the application may produce very<br />

inconsistent results because there is not a lot of watched history for the profiler to make its<br />

decisions. We recommend you give this feature a try after you’ve been using <strong>SageTV</strong> for a few<br />

weeks to see what it records for you. This feature will manage any remaining disk space that’s<br />

left against your Favorites and Manual Recordings and will not delete any of those recordings to<br />

make room for Intelligent Recordings. In addition, Intelligent Recordings are scheduled with the<br />

lowest priority, so these recordings will not be added to the schedule at the expense of missing a<br />

Favorite or a Manual Recording.<br />

When you are ready to give Intelligent Recording a try, enable the Intelligent Recording option<br />

at Detailed Setup: General Settings.<br />

Watching a Recording<br />

Now that you have scheduled at least one Manual Recording and created a Favorite, the next step<br />

would be to watch a recording. That’s one of the best parts of <strong>SageTV</strong>: you don’t need to watch<br />

the show while it is airing. Simply leave <strong>SageTV</strong> running, or put it to sleep (see: Sleeping<br />

<strong>SageTV</strong>), and <strong>SageTV</strong> will record your shows for you while you do something else. Remember:<br />

<strong>SageTV</strong> cannot record any shows if it is not running and if your computer is not turned on.<br />

After giving <strong>SageTV</strong> some time to record one of your shows, choose TV > Recordings from the<br />

Main Menu. That will take you to the <strong>SageTV</strong> Recordings menu, the list of all TV shows that<br />

<strong>SageTV</strong> has already recorded or is in the process of recording. To begin watching a recording,<br />

simply use the Select command (Enter key) while a show is highlighted, then choose Watch<br />

Now from the pop-up menu.<br />
