Controlling TV playback

The digital video recording functionality lets you record a single program or capture an entire series for later viewing.

When you open the live TV window and begin watching live TV, Windows Media Center automatically begins recording and playing back the selected program in the background. This allows you to pause or review a live TV program for up to 60 minutes. To replay a program longer than the allotted 60 minutes, you must select to record the program.

You can return to the live broadcast by pressing the Live TV button on the remote control.

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

NOTE: The 60-minute pause buffer applies only when pausing, rewinding, and fast-forwarding live TV. Windows Media Center allows you to record a program for longer than 60 minutes when you select to record the program.

NOTE: You cannot pause a live TV program, then rewind to the beginning of the pause buffer, and then begin recording. You can only begin recording a TV program from real-time live TV as soon as you switch to a channel.

NOTE: The digital video recording features are for select models only.
