Your DVR saves programs to the hard drive instantly and 

continuously, while you watch. This “live buffer” lets you pause, 

rewind, fast forward or instant replay (jump back 6 seconds). If 

you start watching a program late, even if it is not set to record, 

you can back up to the beginning (up to 90 minutes) using REW, 

as long as you haven’t changed channels since the program 

started. Simply press PLAY during a show to display the progress 

bar and see how far back in time you can go. 

NOTE: You cannot fast forward during live TV until you pause or 

rewind a program.
