Q u e s t i o n s A b o u t L i v e T V ( I n c l u d i n g S a t e l l i t e S i g n a l )
Can I watch TV while a program is recording?
•
Yes, you can watch what is recording as it is being recorded. You can also watch any
program stored in the Now Playing List while another program is being recorded. If
you have dual tuner, you can record one program while watching another. See page 3
for information about Dual Tuner.
•
If you have an antenna or cable signal in addition to DIRECTV
®
service, you can
watch programs carried by that signal—without the DVR service—while your
recorder is in standby mode. For more information, see page 55.
After changing the channel, how do I rewind to what I was watching before?
•
You can only rewind Live TV to the point where you last changed the channel. When
you change the channel, you skip ahead to the current time on the new channel, and
start recording fresh, on that channel. If you are behind live TV and watching
something you still want to see, you shouldn’t change the channel. If you have Dual
Tuner, however, you can “surf” two channels and the recorder saves up to 30 minutes
of each channel’s programming.
How do I know if I'm watching live or delayed TV?
•
Press PLAY to bring up the Status Bar. If the white line is at the right edge of the green
area, you are caught up to live TV. If the white line has green to the right of it, you are
watching delayed TV. To catch up to live TV, press the ADVANCE (
) button.
When does the recorder get program data?
•
Your recorder downloads program guide data throughout the day from your satellite
connection. It takes a day or two for the recorder to get all of its guide data (up to 14
days) after you have completed Guided Setup.
