While recording doesn't use an internet connection, your EE TV needs to be connected to EE Broadband to allow all the features to work. To check your EE TV is connected to your EE Broadband:
- press MENU on your EE TV remote
- go to TOOLS & HELP > STATUS and press OK
- check your internet status is Connected
If the local or internet status shows as in progress, find out more about connection issues.
You have too many recordings
You'll see YOU HAVE TOO MANY RECORDINGS if you try to record too many programmes at once – you’ll need to delete one of your older recordings.
Your EE TV can record up to four channels if Replay is turned off, or two programmes if Replay is on.
Recording starts too late or ends too early
Your EE TV works out when a programme will start and finish. You can always record a little bit extra just to be on the safe side.
- press MENU on your EE TV remote
- go to TOOLS & HELP > SETTINGS and press OK
- go to RECORDINGS and use the arrows to change the extra recording time before and after a programme
- press CONFIRM, then OK
Hard drive full
Your EE TV comes with a terabyte (1TB) hard drive. So there's plenty of room for recording all your favourite programmes. But occasionally you might need to do some hard drive housekeeping.
One by one or series
To delete single recordings on your EE TV:
