Take Control of Live Programs
Anytime you tune to a live program, the DVR begins buffering the program — that
is, making a temporary recording of it — so you can:
• Pause the live program for up to one hour
• Rewind the program up to the point when you tuned to the channel
• Fast-forward through the portion you have rewound
• Instantly replay the last eight seconds of TV anytime you want
• Save the buffered program to the DVR by recording it
Buffered Programs
The channel buffer automatically buffers the last hour of the channel
that you are watching and continues to buffer it until you:
Watch the channel for longer than an hour
After an hour, the DVR removes the earlier minutes of
the program from its buffer so that only the last hour is
kept in the buffer.
Tune to another program
When you change channels, the DVR begins to buffer
the program you have just tuned to. It removes the
program you were watching from the buffer.
Turn off the DVR
When you turn off the DVR, it erases everything from
its buffer.
Have the DVR record the program
When you press Record , the DVR records
the portion of the live program it has buffered, and begins
recording the rest of the live program as it is broadcast.
