Take Control of Live Programs

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

Pause the live program for up to one hour

Rewind the program up to the point when you tuned to the channel

Fast-forward through the portion you have rewound

Instantly replay the last eight seconds of TV anytime you want

Save the buffered program to the DVR by recording it

Buffered Programs

The channel buffer automatically buffers the last hour of the channel that you are watching and continues to buffer it until you:

Watch the channel for longer than an hour

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

Tune to another program

When you change channels, the 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 the DVR record the program

When you press Record, the DVR records

the portion of the live program it has buffered, and begins recording the rest of the live program as it is broadcast.
