Series Recording Job Type: Change the episodes which will be recorded using this job.

Max Number of Shows: This setting limits the number of recordings from this job that will be kept in the Library. When this limit is reached, the oldest recording from this job will be deleted when the next recording starts. Example: If three recordings of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" already exist on the system and the recording job wants to create another recording, Enterprise TV will delete the oldest recording to "make room" for the new one.

Max Number of Days: This setting limits the age of recordings created by this recording job. Once a show in this recording job reaches this many days old, it will be expired and deleted.

Destination Folder: The video folder to which the recording will be saved.

MPEG-2 recording profile: The MPEG-2 quality profile that will be used for this recording. Note: This option has no function for recordings from HD channels.

Ignore Recent Recordings: By default, SnapStream will not record the same episode of the same series more than once. Enabling this option will cause episodes of this series to be recorded even if they have already been recorded. To enable this option for all recording jobs, see the Recording Settings page.
