The Status Bar
When you press PLAY, PAUSE, FORWARD, or BACK, the status bar appears at the bottom of
the screen. In live TV, the status bar represents one hour and the white tick marks are 15
minutes apart. In recorded programs, the bar shows the program’s length. The tick marks are 15,
30, or 60 minutes apart depending on the length of the program.
The green segment represents the part of the program saved by the DVR. The DVR
automatically saves up to 30 minutes of live TV. You can move backward and forward through
the saved portion of a live program.
In live TV, the right edge of the green segment represents the current time. A white vertical line
shows where you are in the recording. If the white line is anywhere back in the green segment,
you’re behind live TV. If you’re behind live TV, press ADVANCE ® to catch up.
Press the CLEAR button to hide the
status bar, the program guide, the
channel banner, and anything else that is
not part of the program.
®
You can only rewind live TV up to 30
minutes, or to the point where you
last changed the channel (whichever is
less). When you change the channel, you
skip ahead to the current time on the new
channel and start saving on that channel.
If you’re behind live TV and watching
something you still want to see, you should
avoid changing the channel.
This end is where you
catch up with live TV and
the current time.
