Digital Video Recording (DVR) with Dual Tuner
Imagine…coming home to your own personal library of television programs, movies and sports that you can watch
whenever it’s convenient for you. It’s TV for your schedule.
Pause live television! Rewind and replay programs so you don’t miss a beat.
Record up to 90 hours* of your favorite programs and view them as many times as you want, whenever you want.
You can even record High Definition TV**. All without rentals, tapes or returns.
Your Dual Tuner DVR has made recording and watching your favorite programs easier than ever. Powered by
i-Guide, now you can watch a program while recording another or record two programs at once! You have your
own personal video library, stored on your digital set-top box, so you can watch them at your convenience. You can
even pause, fast forward and rewind live TV to playback scenes you’ve missed. In fact, your DVR is one of the first
available that can actually record and play High Definition programming!**
Control Live TV
Using your DVR and your Digital Cable Remote, you can control live TV. Anytime you tune to a channel, the DVR
begins making a temporary recording of whatever you’re watching. So you can PAUSE if the phone rings, REWIND a
scene you missed and FAST FORWARD to skip what you don’t want to watch. Your DVR will record up to one hour of
live TV+.
The live TV recording is not a permanent recording, unless you actually save it to the DVR’s hard drive. For live TV
recordings, the temporary recording (buffer) will be erased if any of the following occur:
• Turn off your DVR.
• Watch the same channel for longer than the temporary recording (buffer) period. Only the most recent
hour of the program (15 minutes of HD) is kept in the temporary recording.
• Switch to another program on the same tuner. When you change channels without using the SWAP
function, your DVR begins to store the new program. It removes the previous program you were
watching from the storage. (See SWAP section for additional information.)
• You watch more than one hour. After one hour, the DVR removes the earlier minutes of the recording, so
that only the most recent hour is kept in the temporary storage.
Playback Controls
You can play back your video recordings using the Video Control Buttons.
Note: Some remotes are equipped with an Instant
Replay, SWAP and LIVE buttons.
*Recording capacity varies.
**Recording and playback of High Definition programs requires DVR connection to High Definition television.
+Recording buffer (temporary storage) for each tuner will record as long as you stay tuned to the same channel.
These buttons function like VCR
controls. Plus, you have new
DVR
control features, like Instant Replay
and SWAP.
