Pausing Live TV
What do you do when the phone rings, miss part of your favorite show? No, not with Time
Shifting. Just pause the program and return to it when you are ready. Time Shifting caches
live TV to your hard drive. When Time Shifting is enabled, live TV is always recorded, allowing
you to pause Live TV, and then continue without missing your program. When Time Shifting is
disabled, Live TV will be paused, but broadcast content will be lost during the pause.
When you press the
Pause
button, Digital VCR will prompt you to turn on Time Shifting if it is
not already enabled. Once enabled, pressing the
Pause
button will freeze the display of your
program, while continuing to record the program to the hard drive. While paused, Digital VCR
will also begin to create program Thumbnails. (See below for more information.) To continue
playback of your program, press the
Play
button.
At this point your playback is delayed from the current real-time broadcast of the show. You
have the option now to watch the show from here to the end or to jump forward to catch up to
real time.
You can jump forward by:
❏
Pressing the Fast Forward (

is used.)
