If you change channel, the PVR will discard the information on its disk, and start recording the new channel, so if you swap channels during the ads, you won’t be able to rewind when go back to the previous channel. Since looking at other channels in the EPG changes channel, it also clears the time shift infor- mation.

While the Rewind function is useful, the fastest speed is only three times normal. If you want to go back a long way, it’s quicker to use the Progress bar instead.

Press the and you’ll see something like this on the screen.

The Progress bar is the bar in the box at the top of the screen, and the yellow area represents the information thats saved on the hard disk.

You use the Rewind and Fast Forward keys to move along the progress bar quickly, so you could go right back to the begin- ning, for example, if someone else has come into the room and wants to view the programme you’re watching, or use Fast Forward until you catch up with live TV.

Press Play again to hide the progress bar. You can also access the Progress bar directly by holding down the Rewind or Fast Forward keys.

At any time, if you decide you want to jump straight to live TV, just press the button. You’ll see the Live message appear, and you’ll now be watching at the same time as everyone else.
