Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can I rewind live TV? The length of time you can rewind live TV depends
on how long you have been tuned to a single channel. Each time you change channels,
a new copy is automatically stored to the built-in recorder. This copy saves up to the last
1 hour of programming. For example, if you have been watching the same channel for
15 minutes, you can rewind that 15 minutes of the program.
Can I record the quarter screen in the Program Guide or the DVR Recorded List? Yes,
you can record the quarter screen on all DVR screens by pressing Record
. You can
also record the quarter screen in the Program Guide. Press Exit
to display the video
in full screen, and then press Record
.
Note: Pressing Record while in the Program Guide will record the highlighted
program in the grid.
Can I record or pause the video in the PIP screen? Yes, but you must swap it to the
Main screen first. After pressing Record and confirming the recording, you can swap
it back to the PIP screen and it will continue recording. You can also press PIP On/Off
, and the video will continue to record.
If I’ve been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the beginning to
record the entire program? No, if you have been tuned to the program since its
beginning, just press Record
from any point in the program to record the entire
program. Recording will automatically stop when the program ends.
How will I know the DVR is almost out of recording space? When you try to schedule
the next recording, a warning appears on the Confirm Recording screen. Also, you can
see what percentage of recording space you have used. Press List
and then
press
B
for preferences.
Can you play back more than one recording? No, you cannot play back more than one
recording at a time.
What happens if my DVR loses power temporarily? Everything you have recorded is
saved, based on the save time you selected in the Confirm Recording screen. Your
scheduled recordings during the time the DVR lost power are the only recordings you
may miss.
Do my Parental Controls in the Program Guide carry over to DVR recordings? Yes. If
you block programs by channel or rating in the General Settings menu, those settings
are carried over to DVR recordings. For example, if you decide to block all R-rated
programs in the General Settings menu, the R-rated programs will still be recorded, but
you cannot play them back until you enter the correct PIN.
How do I block or erase individual recordings in my recorded list or change the save
time for the recording? Highlight the recording on the Recorded List screen, and press
Select on the remote control. An Options screen appears for the program you
selected.
