Control Live TV With a DVR
Using your DVR with i-Guide, you can control live TV. Anytime
you tune to a channel, the DVR begins making a temporary
recording of whatever you’re watching. So you can
PAUSE
if the phone rings,
REWIND
the scene you missed and
FAST
FORWARD
to skip what you don’t want to watch. Your DVR will
store up to 90 minutes of live TV*.
The live TV recording is not a permanent recording, unless you
actually record it to the DVR’s hard drive. For live TV recordings,
the temporary recording (buffer) will be erased if any of the
following occur:
• Turn off your DVR.
• Watch the same channel for longer than the temporary
recording period. The most recent hour of the program (15
minutes of HD) is kept in the temporary recording.
• Switch to another channel on the same tuner. When you
change channels without using the
SWAP
function, your
DVR begins to store the new program. It removes the
previous program you were watching from the storage.
(See
SWAP
section on page 9 for additional information.)
• You watch more than one hour. After one hour, the DVR
removes the earlier minutes of the recording, so that only
the most recent hour is kept in the temporary storage.
*
Recording buffer (temporary storage) for each tuner will record as long as you stay tuned to the same channel.
