Abstract
A receiver/recorder of television transmissions is disclosed which operates automatically on a stand-by basis to record continuously television transmissions from at least one channel onto a reusable large capacity recording medium such as a magnetooptic disk. The recording is accomplished without user intervention and the system includes an indexing for distinguishing a recent recording from an older recording which is partially overlapped by the recent recording.
