Instant TV Replay
Your own personal up-close and instant replay is at your fingertips with
PowerVCR's sterling new Replay feature. No more annoying and prolonged
periods of waiting for an instant replay from your TV station, you can simply
invoke the Replay function while watching TV for your own private instant
replay!
Note: Replay files are temporarily stored in your hard drive, but are
automatically deleted as soon as exiting Replay mode.
1. While watching TV with PowerVCR, switch to the Instant TV Replay
function by clicking it in the Master panel and instant replay playback
will commence. Refer to Changing System Settings for more details.
2. Refer to the next section for more details on Navigating in Replay
Mode.
Note: There is no Stop function in Instant TV Replay mode.
Navigating in Replay Mode
• Skip forward (skip commercials) or backward (instant replay) by
clicking on the corresponding buttons in the control wheel.
Note: The skipping forward or backward speed is set at seven seconds.
• Click Pause to momentarily cease instant replay.
• The fastest method for navigating here is to drag the slider. Note that
the live broadcast will always be at the slider's end, so you may notice
that the slider bar will regularly reposition itself during playback.
Time-shifting Playback
Time-shifting playback is similar to Instant TV Replay in regards to the instant
replay capability, but may only be used while recording video content.
Another difference is the recording quality, which is fractionally better, yet at
the same time, consumes more CPU resources.
First, we will turn this feature on:
1. Be sure you are in the Live/Digital Recorder mode.
2. Click System Settings.
3. Click the Recording/Advanced tab and in the Advanced Options
section, click Enable time-shifting playback when recording.
4. Click OK to exit System Settings.
