Beyonwiz FV-L1 manual PVR Functions, Time-shifting

STB & PVR Function

3. PVR Functions

The major functions of a PVR are time-shifting and recording. This allows you to pause or rewind live TV, and even to go back and make a recording of events that have already happened. To perform these functions, the FV-L1 utilises the internal hard disk drive (HDD).

3-1. Time-shifting

The FV-L1 retains all received broadcast data from the current service up to a maximum of 2 hours on the internal HDD. This time-shift buffer allows you to;

(i)pause a live TV program and resume watching it later, and

(ii)rewind a live TV program and replay it.

The following functions can be used with the time-shift buffer, in the same manner as if you were watching a recorded file;

Trick mode: allows fast-forward, rewind, pause, skip and jump.

Bookmark: allows returning to a chosen position easily.

A-B Repeat: allows playing a chosen section repeatedly.

For detailed information about these functions, see the “Movie Playback” section in Chapter 6.

NOTE

The time-shift buffer will be deleted if you change to another service or enter the File Play, Setup or WizTV modes.

If two services are being recorded simultaneously and you are watching a third service, the time-shift function for the third service will be disabled automatically.

Trick-mode operations are not available if there is less than 10 seconds of data in the time-shift buffer.

When your current position in the time-shift buffer is less than 10 seconds from the live broadcast position, you will be automatically jumped to the live broadcast position.

The time-shift function can be disabled in the Setup menu (see “Time-shifting” section in Chapter 9).

The time-shift function is not available for radio services
