CONTROLLING LIVE TV WITH LIVE-OFF-DISK (LOD)
Almost immediately after you tune to a channel, your HDPVR automatically begins recording it in
the background to a special part of the hard drive called the LOD buffer. In the same way that
you can control a recorded program, you can
control live TV
!
Note: You cannot fast forward past the current “live” position of a program.
The LOD buffer is
cleared
each time you change channels. Subject to
available space on the hard drive, if you remain on one channel for a
prolonged period of time the LOD buffer will retain the current program and
previous program, regardless of length.
If you decide part way through that you would like to permanently record the program you are
currently watching, just press the
RECORD
button on the remote control and
confirm the
recording
. All parts available in the LOD buffer will be copied to the PVR List and the remainder
of the program will be recorded.
If you have tuned into a program part way through, or changed channels after tuning in, the
entire program
will not
be available to copy to the PVR List, as indicated by the red gaps in the
playback bar. You can use the “View upcoming air dates” option to find a future airing of this
program and schedule a future recording if desired.
If a program is currently being recorded to the PVR List (as indicated by the
symbol in the
Guide), you can change channels as many times as you want and the remainder of the program
will still be recorded.
