4.8Pausing live TV

When you switch to a channel, your HD recorder automatically starts recording the programme that is being played and stores it temporarily in the time-shift buffer.When you switch to a different channel, your HD recorder discards the previously recorded programme, and starts recording the current programme. This feature enables you to pause a live programme at any moment and later continue watching it from that point, or instantly rewind and watch what you have seen (or missed) in the last few seconds.

Note

Your HD recorder stores up to 3 hours of live TV content in the time-shift buffer.At the end of 3 hours, the oldest part of the recording is overwritten.

Your HD recorder empties the contents of the time-shift buffer when you change the channel, or turn off your HD recorder or put it in standby.

To pause any live TV programme, press pause K.The time-shift bar appears.

To start playback, press play .

To stop playback and return to live TV, press stop L. In the menu that pops up, make sure that Back to live ... is highlighted and press stop L again. If you do nothing, this menu disappears after about 5 seconds.
