Find Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pause, rewind, or fast-forward a program shown in the upper right corner of Explorer screens?

Yes. The small screen shown in the upper right corner of Explorer screens (the Quarter screen) is actually the main TV screen. It is reduced to fit within Explorer screens. Keys such as pause, play, rewind, and fast-forward control the main TV screen, whether the screen fills the monitor of your TV or whether it is reduced to fit in an Explorer screen.

Questions About Watching Two Programs at Once

If a program is being recorded in the PIP screen and I turn off the PIP feature, will this stop the recording?

No. The Explorer DVR will continue to record the program even if you turn off the PIP feature.

What if my TV doesn’t have the PIP feature?

That’s no problem. You can still use the PIP feature because the Explorer DVR provides the PIP feature, not your TV.

Questions About Recording Programs and Playing Them Back

Can I record the program that is shown in the PIP screen?

You can record a program that is shown in the PIP screen, but you must start the recording from the main TV screen. For details, see “Record Two Programs at Once” on page 28.

Can I play back more than one recording at the same time?

No. You can play only one recording at a time. For a list of how you can make the most of the features provided by the Explorer DVR, see page 1.

Can I recover a recording that was erased from the Explorer DVR?

No. There is no way to recover a recording that has been erased from the Recorded List screen. You can copy programs to a VCR tape or extend the length of time a program is saved, though. For details, see “Copy Recordings to a VCR Tape” on page 38 or “Change the Save Time of a Recording You Have Saved” on page 40.
