Control Live TV and Recordings
With the Entertainment Server, you control how you watch a program because, in
many ways, you can treat live programs like they are recordings. The Entertainment
Server lets you control how you watch a program in all of the following ways:
• Pause a live program or a recording
• Replay the last 8 seconds of a live program or a recording using instant replay
• Rewind a live program or a recording to watch a portion of it again
• Fast-forward through portions of a live program that you have rewound,
or through portions of a recording that you don’t want to watch
• Slow the action of a live program or a recording to watch more closely
• Watch action frame by frame in forward or reverse
• Catch up with a live program to see what is currently being broadcast
Can’t find a key on the remote? Open the foldout on the back cover of this
guide to display the illustration of the remote control.
