Watching Live TV Using the Digital Video Recorder

n

The 30-minute pause buffer applies only when pausing, rewinding, and fast- forwarding live TV. Media Center allows you to record a program for longer than 30 minutes.

When you open the My TV window and begin watching live TV, Media Center begins recording the selected program in the background for up to 30 minutes.

This allows you to use your remote control to stop, pause, rewind, and fast-forward live TV programs within a 30-minute time range. Recording continues in the background. When you pause a live TV program while watching in full-screen mode, the time-shifting window appears.

You can always move to the actual point in the live broadcast by pressing the Live TV button on the remote control.

When you change the channel, Media Center deletes the previously recorded portion and begins recording again after a short delay.

You cannot use time shifting when recording a TV program. For example, you can’t pause a live TV program and then rewind to the beginning of the pause buffer and then begin recording. You can record a TV program only from live TV.

In the illustration below, note that the pause buffer time is highlighted in green. The pause buffer began recording around 3:55 and has recorded until 4:16. The program was then rewound and paused at 4:12.
