The HVBTR-4800 will continue recording until you press the STOP key on the RCU.

TIP Watching other channels while recording.
HVBTR-4800 is not a dual tuner. However, you can watch other channels on the same Logical Channel Number (LCN)
that you are recording.
For example you can record ABC News 24 (C024) and watch ABC1 (C021), ABC2 (C022) and ABC3 (C023) etc. Note
it will tell you the channel that is recording in the top left corner - example C024.
But if you are recording ABC News 24 and try channels on other LCNs you will get the message
RECORD and it will tell you the channel that is recording in the top left corner.
Example of same LCN would be ONE HD / TEN Digital / ELEVEN or 7 Digital / 7TWO / 7mate and so on. You
would need to check your local transmission information for LCN details.
