Watching Live TV Using the Digital Video Recorder
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.
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.
n
When you select a
channel and then
press OK on the
remote control, you
can view two weeks
of programming. Use
the scroll arrows at
the bottom of the
window.
n
The digital video
recording features
are for select
models only.
