How To Record Samsung Smart TV: A Complete Guide
If you own a Samsung Smart TV, you probably want to capture your favorite shows, movies, or sports events for later viewing. In this article we explain how to record Samsung Smart TV content using built‑in features and external devices. The steps are straightforward, and the results are reliable.
Built‑in Recording Options
Most recent Samsung models include a native recording function. The feature works with both live broadcast channels and streaming apps that support DVR.
Using the Samsung TV Plus App
The Samsung TV Plus app provides free live channels. To record a program:
- Open the TV Plus app from the home menu.
- Select the channel you want to watch.
- Press the Record button on your remote (usually a red circle).
- Choose a storage location – either the internal SSD or a connected USB drive.
- Confirm the recording. The TV will display a timer indicating the remaining time.
Recording Live TV with the One Connect Box
Higher‑end Samsung models use a One Connect Box that houses the tuner and storage. The process is similar:
- Navigate to the live TV source.
- Press the Record key on the remote.
- Select the desired duration (30 minutes, 1 hour, or custom).
- Press OK to start recording.
- Access recordings later
