Getting started
Using Live Pause
While you are watching a TV programme, you can pause it at
any moment you want - just press
pause
on your SKY remote
control.
The TV picture and sound ‘freeze’, and
MY SKY
starts recording the
programme.
When you want to continue watching the programme from the
Live Pause point, press
pause
again, or press
play
.
A symbol briefly displays on-screen (see right).The number shows the
number of minutes you are ‘behind’ the actual live TV programmes.
While you are watching the Live Pause recording, you can use
pause
,
play
,
fast forward
and
rewind
to move through the recording.
Symbols display on yourTV screen to show you what is happening (see
page 74), and the lights on the playback indicator light up (see
page 62). If you rewind back to the start of the recording, the picture
freezes. If you fast forward to the end of the recording,
MY SKY
takes
you back to normal TV viewing.
While you are watching the Live Pause recording,
MY SKY
continues
recording the programme until it finishes. However, you can press
SKY
at any point to stop Live Pause and resume normal TV viewing.
Note
When you use Live Pause
MY SKY
caches the programme,
but it is not
added to your Personal Planner.
To record the programme to your Personal Planner, to watch it in the
future, press the
record
button (see page 27).
