Q. Do Parental Locks work with DVR?
A. Yes. Parental Locks restrict viewing of recorded programs. If you schedule a recording for a program you have
Locked, the program will be recorded; however, audio is muted and no video will appear while the program is
recording. A restricted notice remains on screen allowing you to enter your PIN to view the program during the
recording. Once the program has been recorded, you can access it from My Recordings. Just enter your PIN to view.
Note: You can also set Parental Locks on recorded programs. Use the LOCK button on your remote or Lock Icon
from My Recordings or from a Recorded Program Information screen.
Managing Your Recordings
Q. How long can I keep My Recordings?
A. You can keep them as long as you want. Just remember, the recording space is limited, so you may need to delete
some recorded programs from time to time in order to make room for new ones.
Q. How will I know when I’m almost out of recording space?
A. An on-screen notice will appear advising you when recording space is low (80% full) or full.
Note: If you are recording a program and run out of recording space, the recording will stop. You can always see how
much recording space is available from My Recordings. You can also manually delete recordings or set your DVR to
automatically delete recorded programs when space is needed. See:“Managing Your Personal Video Library” section
in this manual.
Q. Does the DVR automatically delete programs when the record space is full?
A. Only if you set it up that way. The DVR will automatically delete programs if you tell it to do so by setting the
programs to be deleted when space is needed. When the record space is full, the oldest recordings that you have set
to be deleted will be deleted first. If you do not want the
DVR to automatically delete certain recordings, you can set
them so that they are only deleted by you.
Controlling Live TV
Q. How long can I pause live TV?
A. You can pause up to 90 minutes of standard programming; less with HD programming.
Q. How far back can I rewind live TV?
A. You can rewind up to two hours of standard TV programming as long as you were tuned to the same channel.
Q. How do I use Instant Replay?
A. If your remote control is equipped with a REPLAY button, press it to instantly replay the last 15 seconds of the
program. If there is no
REPLAY button, use the PAGE
button on your remote.
Q. If I’m watching a program in progress and want to record it, can I record from the beginning?
A. If you just tuned to the program, the DVR begins recording from the point where you pressed record on your remote.
If you have been watching the program from the beginning and have not changed channels (without using SWAP), the
DVR will save all the temporary recording (buffer) to the Hard Drive and you will capture the entire program.
Q. How can I catch up to the live broadcast of a program after I’ve paused it?
A. Press the LIVE button (if available) or the down
arrow on the remote. Or, you can fast forward to the point of
live TV. The on-screen indicator will display “LIVE”.
