Motorola HDDSR 605, HDPVR 630 manual Controlling Live TV with LIVE-OFF-DISK LOD

7. CONTROLLING LIVE TV WITH LIVE-OFF-DISK (LOD)

Almost immediately after you tune to a channel, your HDPVR automatically begins recording it in the background to a special part of the hard drive called the LOD buffer. In the same way that you can control a recorded program, you can control live TV!

Note: You cannot fast forward past the current “live” position of a program.

The LOD buffer is cleared each time you change channels. Subject to available space on the hard drive, if you remain on one channel for a prolonged period of time the LOD buffer will retain the current program and previous program, regardless of length.

If you decide part way through that you would like to permanently record the program you are currently watching, just press the RECORD button on the remote control and confirm the recording. All parts available in the LOD buffer will be copied to the PVR List and the remainder of the program will be recorded.

If you have tuned into a program part way through, or changed channels after tuning in, the entire program will not be available to copy to the PVR List, as indicated by the red gaps in the playback bar. You can use the “View upcoming air dates” option to find a future airing of this program and schedule a future recording if desired.

If a program is currently being recorded to the PVR List (as indicated by the symbol in the Guide), you can change channels as many times as you want and the remainder of the program will still be recorded.
