Can I pause, rewind, or fast-forward a program in the PIP screen?
No. Keys such as pause, rewind, and fast-forward control only the program
shown in the main TV screen. They also control the small Quarter screen that
appears on DVR screens like the Recorded List screen and the Program
Guide. See page 23 for details on the main TV screen and the Quarter screen.
Can I pause, rewind, or fast-forward a program shown in the upper right
corner of Explorer screens?
Yes. The small screen shown in the upper right corner of Explorer screens (the
Quarter screen) is actually the main TV screen displayed in a smaller size. It is
reduced to fit within Explorer screens. Keys such as pause, play, rewind, and
fast-forward control the main TV screen, whether the screen fills the monitor of
your TV or whether it is reduced to fit in an Explorer screen.
Questions About Watching Two Programs at Once
If a program is being recorded in the PIP screen and I turn off the PIP
feature, will this stop the recording?
No. The DVR continues to record the program even if you turn off the PIP feature.
What if my TV doesn’t have the PIP feature?
That’s no problem. You can still use the PIP feature because the DVR provides
the PIP feature, not your TV.
Questions About Recording and Playing Back Programs
If I’ve been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the
beginning to record the entire program?
No, if you have been tuned to the program since its beginning, just press
Record from any point in the program to record the entire program. Recording
automatically stops when the program ends.
Can I record the program that is shown in the PIP screen?
You can record a program that is shown in the PIP screen, but you must swap
the program to the main screen first. For details, see “Record Two Programs at
Once” on page 28.
Can I record a pay-per-view event?
Yes, if you have been authorized by your cable service provider. After you
purchase the event and wait for it to begin playing, you can record it just like
any other live program. For details, see “Record a Pay-Per-View Event” on page 28.
Can I record video-on-demand (VOD) programs?
No.
Can I play back more than one recording at the same time?
