Let’s say you’re watching a ball game and the umpire makes a controversial call.
With regular TV, all you can do is loudly question his eyesight and continue
watching the game. But your Sony
®
-DIRECTV
™
Receiver with UltimateTV
®
Service
lets you create your own instant replay, jumping back a few seconds and
watching the play again and again. You can even go back to the beginning
of the play, freeze the action, and watch it in slow motion to figure out what
really happened.
To use the features described in this section, you must
subscribe to DIRECTV

programming and the UltimateTV Service.
Instant Replay is only one of the TV controls offered by the Sony
®

Service. You can also do the following:
•
Pause
a show and resume watching it later
•
Reverse
to an earlier point in a show
•
Fast-forward
to a later point in a show
•
Jump Ahead
several seconds to skip a portion of a show
The controls described here apply to both live and recorded or
paused material, with the exception of fast-forward and Jump Ahead, which
apply only to recorded or paused material.
