Status Bar
When you press PLAY, PAUSE, FORWARD or BACK, a status bar appears on the lower
part of your screen. In live TV, the status bar represents one hour (notice the white tick
marks every 15 minutes). In recorded programs, the bar shows the program’s length. The
green portion of the bar represents the part of the program saved by the DVR. The DVR
automatically saves up to 30 minutes of live TV. You can rewind and fast forward through
the saved portions of a program.
In live TV, the right edge of the green segment represents the current time. A white
vertical line shows where you are in the saved portion of the program. If the white line is
anywhere back in the green segment, you are behind live TV. When you’re behind live
TV, you can press the ADVANCE button (
) to catch up.
The EXIT button hides the status
bar, guide, channel banner, and
anything else that is not part of the
program.
This is where you
catch up with live TV
