TV-on-Demand™

TV-on-Demand (“Time-Shifting”) is available if your graphics card supports it (for example, the ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON and the ALL-IN-WONDER 128 PRO). TV-on- Demand combines the immediacy of live TV with the storage and replay capability of a VCR to create a new way to watch and interact with TV.

Live Pause. With a mouse click, you can pause a live TV broadcast, and resume viewing the time-shifted video later, without missing any of the action.

Instant Replay. If you want to replay a sequence, you can back up the program, see what you missed, and then catch up to live programming. You can vary the playback speed or skip ahead by a pre-set number of seconds. You can also export time- shifted video as an MPEG (.MP2) file.

Note

•Because TV-on-Demand records to your hard drive, you cannot use the Digital VCR in TV-on- Demand mode (see Digital VCR on page 39).

•You cannot time-shift copy-protected video sources.

To view time-shifted video

Click the TV-on-Demand button or the Pause button in the TV control panel.

•When you click the Pause button, the TV control panel changes to the TV-on-Demand control panel, the last frame of video is displayed, and TV-on-Demand captures live video.
