3.6.1 Playback features

While you’re playing back a recorded file, you can use the pause, rewind and fast forward features, just the same as when you’re watching time shifted TV, so pressing once plays at double speed, press again for four times normal speed, and again for six times.

The button will go backwards at 1, 2 or 3 times normal speed, and just like in time shift, if you hold down either Rewind or Fast forward, the Progress bar will appear, and you can move quickly through the programme. You’ll notice that the Progress bar has a small red line, which represents your cur- rent position, and you’ll see it move as you hold down the keys.

You can also use the Progress bar to skip quickly through ad- verts, if you have no bookmarks in a file. Press Play to display it, and then press the Yellow button on the remote to skip for- ward thirty seconds for each press, then press Play again to hide the Progress bar.

During playback, the information box will display details of the programme you’re watching, so you can view the full de-

scription of an episode, for example, by pressing the but- ton twice.

To stop play back of a programme, just press the Stop key; pressing the OK/List button will take you back to the archive, with the programme you are watching highlighted.

3.6.2 Bookmarks and resume play

Your PVR can keep track of which programmes you’ve watched, and how much of them, so that if you have to stop watching a programme for any reason, you can carry on from where you left off.
