Pause and replay an on-going programme

The hard disc recorder lets you take a break in the middle of a TV or STB programme without missing any of it. Just pause the programme and resume it when you are ready.

The hard disc recorder begins saving the current programme in a three-hour buffer the moment you switch on a source, so you can replay what you missed during the break. The hard disc recorder continues saving the programme during replay, so you are sure to see the entire programme.

You can switch directly to the live signal at any time.

*NOTE! On some Beo4 remote controls, the V MEM button is called V TAPE.

An example of the status window. A programme is being replayed after a pause. The time to the left shows for how long you have been copying the on- going programme to the buffer – 19 minutes. The time to the right shows the time of the current picture is five minutes behind the live signal.

In addition to TV programmes, you can pause and replay set-top box programmes, provided you have connected a set-top box to the hard disc recorder.
