Method of recording a multimedia content broadcast streamwise, comprising the following steps: initialize a current throughput of recording of the stream in a mass memory; acquire a current portion of the multimedia content at the current recording throughput, and store it temporarily in the buffer memory; evaluate a rate of fill of the buffer memory; if the fill rate is greater than a predetermined high threshold of fill, decrease the current recording throughput; if the fill rate is less than or equal to a predetermined low threshold, increase the current recording throughput.
