Pause TV

What you can do

While you watch a digital channel, you can pause a programme to answer a phone call or to have a break. The broadcast is stored on a USB hard drive that is connected to the TV. You can resume playback of the programme at any time.

Note:

You can pause a programme for a maximum of 90 minutes.

What you need

Tune your TV to receive digital channels. See Change your TV settings > Channels > Automatic installation

(Page 37).

Connect a USB 2.0 compatible hard drive with a minimum capacity of 4 GB and a minimum transfer speed of 30 megabits per second. For optimal performance, use a hard drive with 32 GB of disk space.

Install USB hard drive

To pause TV, you must connect a USB hard drive to the TV and format it.

If the TV does not recognise the USB hard drive, use a PC to format it to NTFS or FAT32 system, then try again.

Caution:

TP Vision is not responsible if the USB hard drive is not supported, nor is it responsible for damage to or loss of data in the device.

Formatting removes all data from the connected USB hard drive.
