Welcome!
With the Explorer
®
8300™
Digital Video Recorder (DVR),
you can easily record your
favorite programs and then play
them back anytime. The DVR
and Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
features give you complete
control, convenience, and
choice when watching TV. Use
your DVR to control the
following features...
Control live TV
The telephone is ringing and you do not want to miss any scenes of your
favorite live TV program. DVR lets you PAUSE the live program, or REWIND and
PLAY a portion of it again, or FAST-FORWARD it to catch up to live TV.
Sports fans can enjoy complete control by using INSTANT REPLAY, SLOW
MOTION, and FRAME ADVANCE AND REWIND to watch their favorite play
again.
Record TV programs without a VCR
RECORD and save your favorite TV programs to the DVR to watch later.
When two of your favorite TV programs are scheduled at the same time,
RECORD one program to the built-in recorder while watching the other!
Never miss your favorite programs that are scheduled at the same time. Simply
RECORD both programs at the same time. While recording both
programs, you can play back a third program you have already recorded.
RECORD a single episode or all episodes of your favorite TV programs.
RECORD one of your favorite TV programs and at the same time, access any
advanced application, such as video-on-demand (VOD).
Not sure if you have room to RECORD new programs? You can check your
available recording space any time.
Watch two TV programs at the same time
PIP is built into the Explorer 8300 DVR, so you can watch two live programs at the
same time on any make or model TV that is connected to your DVR.
When something exciting occurs in the PIP program, you can easily swap the
PIP into the Main screen. Once that program is in the Main screen, you can pause,
rewind, or record it.
When the PIP screen position is covering a “must see” moment on the Main
screen, simply MOVE the PIP screen to a different corner of your TV screen.
