Introduction
Get ready to free your TV. You’re going to love the new control you have over how and when you watch
television once you’re free from the usual constraints of ordinary TV.
This extraordinary TV service offers a powerful new DVR giving freedom to record your favorite
programs and watch them on YOUR schedule. Using the tools on the remote control, you can forward
past parts you don’t want to watch and rewind to watch the things you want to see again.
You even have the freedom to control Live TV. Each time you tune to a channel, the DVR begins making
a temporary recording of the program you are watching. This gives you the ability to Pause the current
program if the phone rings and the freedom to rewind or instant replay a scene that you just have to see
again. Your DVR will record up to one hour of Live TV.
It’s important to understand the Live TV recording is permanent. Unlike recording a program on your
DVR to watch later, the DVR records Live TV in a temporary storage or a buffer. For Live TV recordings,
this temporary recording (buffer) will be erased if any of the following occur:
You turn off your DVR.
You watch the same channel for longer than the temporary recording buffer period. The
most recent hour of the program (less for HD) is kept in the temporary recording.
You switch to another program. When you change channels, your DVR begins to store the
new program. It removes the previous program you were watching from storage.
This user guide will walk through the many features of this extraordinary TV service. But as always, if you
have questions or problems, just give us a call.
