How far back can I rewind live TV?
The length of time you can rewind live TV depends on how
long you have been tuned to a single channel. Each time you change channels, a new copy is
automatically stored to the built-in recorder. This copy saves up to the last 1 hour of
programming. For example, if you have been watching the same channel for 15 minutes, you
can rewind that 15 minutes of the program on the channel you have been watching.
Can I record the quarter screen in the Channel Guide or the DVR for iO TV Recorded List?
Yes, you can record the quarter screen on all DVR for iO TV screens by pressing
Record
. You
can also record the quarter screen in the Channel Guide. Press
Exit
to display the video in full
screen, and then press
Record
.
Note
: Pressing
Record
while in the Channel Guide will record the highlighted program in the grid.
Can I record or pause the video in the PIP screen?
Yes, but you must swap it to the Main
screen first. After pressing
Record

screen and it will continue recording. You can also press
PIP On-Off

Can I use PIP while copying a program to my VCR?
When copying a program to a VCR, the
PIP can be used only to monitor the progress of the copy status. You cannot use PIP to watch
another program while copying a program to a VCR.
If I’ve been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the beginning to
record the entire program?
No, if you have been tuned to the program since its beginning, just
press
Record
from any point in the program to record the entire program. The DVR for iO TV
will automatically rewind and record up to 1 hour of the previous programming. Recording will
automatically stop when the program ends.
How will I know the DVR for iO TV is almost out of recording space?

schedule the next recording, a warning appears on the Confirm Recording screen. Also, you can
see what percentage of recording space you have used. Press
DVR

What happens if my DVR for iO TV loses power temporarily?
Everything you have recorded
is saved, based on the save time you selected in the Confirm Recording screen. Your scheduled

recording will automatically resume when power comes back on.
Do my Parental Controls in the Channel Guide carry over to DVR for iO TV recordings?
Yes. If you block programs by channel or rating in General Settings menu, those settings are
carried over to DVR for iO TV recordings. For example, if you decide to block all R-rated
programs in the General Settings menu, the R-rated programs will still be recorded, but you
cannot play them back until you enter the correct PIN.
How do I block or erase individual recordings in my recorded list or change the save time
for the recording?
Highlight the recording on the Recorded List screen, and press
SEL

remote control. An Options screen appears for the program you selected.
Why are all my programs displayed in 1080i format (HD Only)?
You may have selected the
Easy Setup mode and the wide screen (16:9) TV setting in the HDTV Setup Wizard. Choosing
these two settings together limits your programming to 1080i format, even on non-HD channels.
To see your non-HD programs in 480i on a wide screen (16:9) HDTV, use the Advanced Setup in
the HDTV Setup Wizard. Make sure that you select 480i as one of your saved formats, and then
select Pass-Through in General Settings: Picture Format for your default picture format.
