DIRECTV Plus HD DVR Features in Live TV
Live Buffer:
The DIRECTV Plus HD 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.” (Note: You
cannot fast forward during live TV until you pause or rewind a program.) 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 REWIND,
as long as you haven’t changed channels since the program started.
Cruise Controls:
Use the PAUSE, FFWD, REWIND, REPLAY, RECORD and ADVANCE keys to
control your viewing time. Pressing FFWD or REWIND multiple times lets you increment the speed at
which you cruise through a program. Pressing and holding PLAY shows the program in slow motion. If
you press FFWD while a program is paused, the program is displayed in frame-by-frame.
When you use Cruise Control keys, a “control bar” shows you where you are in the program, the start
and end time of the program, how much of the program has been stored and the program title.
If you are viewing a screen with a TV Window, such as the Guide or an Info screen, icons are displayed
in the window to identify the current state (e.g., playing, paused, fast forward, etc.).
