Snapshot
To capture a
picture while
watching TV
(and save it as
a .bmp file),
click on the “Snapshot” button (see Page 7). Save the image when prompted,
and double-click on the image to perform edits. If you don’t wish to save the
image, click on “delete.”
TV Channel Preview
Complete the channel scan before previewing. Most channel preview/selection
functions are controlled with standard keys and buttons.
To view the next or previous channel on the menu list while watching TV: Click
on the Channel Up/Channel Down buttons.
To view a specific channel: enter the channel number using the numeric keys.
To return to the previous channel: Click on the “TAB” button.
To preview 16 channels simultaneously: Click on the “16” button. To select one
of these 16 channels for viewing, click on the channel image.
Time-Shifting
Time-shift lets you skip commercials (
not
automatically, however), pause and
replay while watching real-time TV — without interrupting any ongoing recording
— by temporarily saving the “live” video to your hard disk for a specified period
of time.
In Time-shift, you are recording to and playing back from the same video file
or buffer. You can play back from various locations in that buffer. As with
video playback, you can pause, fast-forward and rewind. A major difference,
however, is that X800 software is simultaneously recording real-time television
while playing back from the buffer.
NOTE:
Time-shift can use a significant amount of disk space. There is greater
CPU utilization during Time-shift because you are simultaneously recording and
playing recorded videos. At full dVd quality, Time-shift can require up to a
1.7-GHz CPU.
Click on the “Time-shift” button to active it (see Page 7). A time monitoring bar
will appear, informing you how much of the Time-shift buffer is in use. You can
also use your mouse to drag the Time Control Shuttle to jump to a specific time.
To exit Time-shift, click on the “Stop” button (see Page 7).
TeleText
Clicking on the “TeleText” button (see Page 7) lets you receive TeleText TV if the
signal of the selected channel is supported by TeleText TV.
