Scheduling Recordings Remotely
Home  Previous  Next

Use this feature to schedule recordings while away from the machine running Beyond TV. Remote recordings are stored on SnapStream.Net and retrieved by the user's Beyond TV machine.

Notes:  
·Beyond TV must be running and have an active connection to the Internet in order for this function to work properly.  
·Beyond TV checks SnapStream.Net for remote recordings at intervals of approximately 15 minutes. This means that if a recording is scheduled less than 15 minutes from time of scheduling, Beyond TV 4 may not pick up the remote recording in enough time to begin the recording.  
· Conflict Resolution is not available in SnapStream.Net. The user can choose what priority remote recordings are added at in the SnapStream.Net Settings section of the ViewScape Interface.  
.
