Moving around with the status bar

In general, watching shows works the same whether you’re watching live TV, recordings, web
videos, or video on demand. You can always press PLAY, PAUSE, FORWARD, and REWIND
to display a status bar and move around in the show.
• In live TV, the status bar represents one hour and the white tick marks are 15 minutes apart.

• In recorded shows, web videos, and video on demand, the bar shows the program’s length.

The tick marks are 15 minutes apart (further apart for a longer show).

This end is where you

catch up with live TV.

Tick marks are 15

minutes apart.

Live TV is paused.

Status bar for live TV

The white line and time indicate

where you are now.

Depending on the video on demand
source, the status bar may look
different from the TiVo Premiere

status bar.

®

Tick marks are 15 minutes apart.

The show is two hours long.

The REWIND button has

been pressed twice.
