PDC (Programme Delivery Control System) Programme PDC is a system of telling the recorder when a programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a programme you will tell the recorder to start recording, probably, five minutes before the advertized starting time of the programme and to finish ten minutes or so after the programme is due to finish. So even if the programme starts early or finishes late you will normally still get to see what you wanted to record. However when live programmes over-run or the day's television schedule is changed from that advertized, you may miss the desired programme 44 RD-XS34SB_Ope_E_p039-047 44 which may have been delayed or even cancelled and the recorder will record the programme even if it is two or more hours late. With PDC, you enter the exact start time and the recorder will wait until the signal is sent to confirm the programme is starting and the recorder will record the programme even if it is two or more hours late.
