Q u e s t i o n s A b o u t L i v e T V ( I n c l u d i n g S a t e l l i t e S i g n a l )
Can I watch TV while a program is recording?
• Yes, you can watch what is recording as it is being recorded. You can also watch any
program stored in the
Now Playing List
while another program is being recorded. If you
have dual tuner, you can record one program while watching another. See page 3 for
information about Dual Tuner.
•
If you have an antenna or cable signal in addition to DIRECTV
®
service, you can
watch programs carried by that signal—without the DVR service—while your DVR is
in standby mode. For more information, see page 55.
After changing the channel, how do I rewind to what I was watching before?
• You can only rewind Live TV to the point where you last changed the channel. When
you change the channel, you skip ahead to the current time on the new channel, and
start recording fresh, on that channel. If you are behind live TV and watching
something you still want to see, you shouldn’t change the channel. If you have Dual
Tuner, however, you can “surf” two channels and the DVR saves up to 30 minutes of
each channel’s programming.
How do I know if I’m watching live or delayed TV?
• Press PLAY to bring up the Status Bar. If the white line is at the right edge of the green
area, you are caught up to live TV. If the white line has green to the right of it, you are
watching delayed TV. To catch up to live TV, press the ADVANCE ( ) button.
When does the DVR get program data?
•
Your DVR downloads program guide data throughout the day from your satellite
connection. It takes a day or two for the DVR to get all of its guide data (up to 14 days)
after you have completed Guided Setup.
