INTRODUCING DVR

Take Control of Live Programs

Anytime you tune to a live program, DVR begins “buffering” it — that is, making a temporary recording of it — so you can:

Pause the live program or rewind it

Fast-forward through the portion you have rewound

Replay live TV anytime you want

Save the buffered program to the DVR’s hard drive to access it again later

Buffered Programs

DVR automatically buffers the last hour of the program that you’re watching and continues to buffer the channel until you:

Watch the channel for longer than an hour

After an hour, DVR removes the earlier minutes of the program from its buffer so that only the most recent hour is kept in the buffer.

Tune to another program

When you change channels, DVR begins to buffer the program you have just tuned to. It removes the program you were watching from the buffer.

Turn off the DVR

When you turn off the DVR, it erases everything from its buffer.

Have DVR record the program

When you press Record , DVR records the portion of the live program it has buffered, and begins recording the rest of the live program as it is broadcast.

When recording, the red Record light turns on.
