Chapter 6 TimeShift
The TimeShift function performs background recording of a TV/Radio program, and lets you
return and watch any part of the recorded program. At the same time, the live TV/Radio
program continues to be recorded and played back so you won’t miss any part of the show.
You can also advance forward to skip commercials or rewind to replay scenes one more time.
