OK. For this I'm assuming you're using version 0.18.

1) Go to Utilities/Setup --> Setup --> T VSettings --> Recording
Profiles --> Hardware DVB Encoders.

2) Pick the profile you want to use (eg Default)

3) On the 1st page select "Automatically transcode after recording".

4) On the subsequent pages select the transcoding settings. You may
have to use trial and error and play with these for a few days until
you get a file size/quality trade off you're happy with.

Then every time you record it will transcode to the format you chose above.

Good luck,
Phill
