Using my DVR

DVR

Create your own personal library of television programs, movies and sports that you can watch at your convenience. You can even pause, rewind and fast forward live television to playback scenes you missed. Record two programs at once and set series recordings so you never miss an episode.

Status Bar

The Status Bar appears whenever you pause, rewind or fast forward a live program. It also gives you information such as the title of the program you are watching, the source of the program and duration of time. The yellow position bar indicates where you are in the program. Green indicates the length of the program you are watching. White indicates the length of the programs available in the buffer. Red indicates that you are watching a recording in process.

Pause

As you watch live TV and recorded programs, press PAUSE and programming on your TV screen instantly freezes. For programs you are watching live, your DVR will remain in pause for up to 90 minutes. Pressing PAUSE more than once allows frame by frame viewing. Press PLAY to resume normal play of the program from the point where it was paused.

Rewind

Want to review a portion of your live show? Press REWIND. Press it again up to four times to increase the rewind speed. REW, REW2, REW3 and REW4 will appear on-screen. REW is the slowest setting and REW4 is the fastest. Press REWIND a fifth time or press PLAY to resume normal play.

Fast Forward

For programs you are watching live, FAST FORWARD can be activated if you have paused or rewound the program. Press FAST FORWARD to move forward in the program. Press it up to four times to increase the fast forward speed. FF, FF2, FF3 and FF4 will appear on-screen. FF is the slowest setting and FF4 is the fastest. Press FAST FORWARD a fifth time or press PLAY to resume normal play. You can only fast forward up to the point of live broadcast.

Parental Locks

You can restrict viewing of recorded programs just like any other program. If you schedule a recording for a program you have locked, the program will be recorded, however, audio is muted and no video will appear while the program is recording. A restricted notice remains on-screen allowing you to enter your PIN to view the program during recording. Once the program has been recorded, you can access it from your list of recorded programs. Just enter your PIN to view it.

One-Touch Record

Press the red RECORD button on your remote any time while watching TV or while navigating through the guide. For programs airing now, recording begins immediately at the point you pressed RECORD. You can automatically schedule recordings for programs starting at a later time or date by pressing RECORD while in the listings. Recording will start at the program’s scheduled start time.
