Take Control of Live Programs
Buffered Programs
Turn off the DVR
When you turn off the DVR, it erases everything from its buffer.
Watch the channel for longer than an hour
After an hour, DVR removes the earlier minutes of the program from its buffer
so that only the most recent hour is kept in the buffer.
Tune to another program
When you change channels, DVR begins to buffer the program you have just
tuned to. It removes the program you were watching from the buffer.
DVR automatically buffers the last hour of the program that you’re watching and continues
to buffer the channel until you:
Anytime you tune to a live program, DVR begins “buffering” it — that is, making a temporary
recording of it — so you can:
Pause the live program or rewind it
Fast-forward through the portion you have rewound
Replay live TV anytime you want
Save the buffered program to the DVR’s hard drive to access it again later
INTRODUCING DVR
Have DVR record the program
When you press Record , DVR records the portion of the live program
it has buffered, and begins recording the rest of the live program as it
is broadcast.
When recording, the red Record light turns on.
