Abstract: Various arrangements are presented that may involve receiving from a television service provider, timers that are used to record a managed channel array. Each of these timers define a television channel, a time period, and a date. The received timers may be set at a television receiver. User input may be received that specifies an undesired television channel that is not to be recorded according to the received plurality of timers, the undesired television channel being part of the managed channel array. An amount of storage space for the managed channel array excluding the undesired television channel may be calculated. Storage space may be allocated based upon the calculated amount of storage space for the managed channel array excluding the undesired television channel.

Abstract translation: 呈现了可能涉及从电视服务提供商接收用于记录管理信道阵列的定时器的各种布置。 每个定时器定义电视频道，时间段和日期。 接收到的定时器可以设置在电视接收机。 可以接收用户输入，其指定根据接收到的多个定时器不被记录的不期望的电视频道，不需要的电视频道是被管理的频道阵列的一部分。 可以计算除了不期望的电视频道之外的管理信道阵列的存储空间量。 可以基于计算出的管理信道阵列的存储空间量（不包括不期望的电视频道）来分配存储空间。
