Time-shift functionality

Arcade also has a time-shift function that can be enabled. To create an instant replay, Arcade records the TV broadcast as a file, creating a slight lag between the live broadcast and the TV content that you watch. (The instant replay file cannot be saved, however, and you cannot watch this file in the Recorded TV window.) You can navigate forward and backward within the file to create an instant replay or to skip over commercials.

Note: One of your local drives must contain at least 2 GB of free space in order to enable the instant replay function.
