We will use two examples to show how the Live TV Buffer works. For both
examples, we will assume that a football match on a sports channel starts
at 3:00 PM and ends at 4:30 PM.
Example 1: You tune to the sports channel at 2:45 PM (15 minutes before
the football match starts). You decide to start recording the football match
between 3:00 PM and 3:45 PM, so you press the RECORD button on
your remote and then you select the option to record until the end of the
program.
Thanks to the Live TV Buffer, vou will record the entire football match to
your DVR because the Live TV buffer contains the program from the time it
started at 3:00 PM.
Example 2: You tune to the sports channel at 3:05 PM and decide to start
recording some time after 3:05 PM and before 4:05 PM. In this case, you
will not record the fi rst 5 minutes of the football match because you did not
turn to the channel earlier.
Notes:
1. Schedule DVR recordings or use the Manual recording option to make
sure that you record your favorite events.
2. The time that you start a recording is vital; it is not the 1 hour buffer that
completely gets recorded. Two things matter most when recording a
program to your DVR: the program time and the time at which you start a
recording.
3. You can record two programs at the same time or you can record a
program while watching another one.
Controlling Live TV and Recordings
1. Press the PAUSE button to pause live TV or a recording.
2. Press the PLAY button to resume playing live TV or a recording.
3. Press the REWIND or FAST FORWARD buttons continually for different
speed options.
4. Press the LIVE button to catch up to live TV.
5. Press the PAUSE button and then press the FORWARD or REWIND
keys to activate slow motion while watching live TV. To resume normal
play, press the PLAY button again.
6. Press the INSTANT REPLAY button to see the last 7 seconds of live TV
or recording.
You can record approximately 175 hours of standard-defi nition (SD)
programming or approximately 75 hours of high-defi nition (HD)
programming.
