Instant Replay

By default, the instant replay function is enabled in Arcade. 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 drive must contain at least 2 GB of free

space in order to enable the instant replay function.
