Standard DVR Functionality
DVR functionality integrated with the IPG enables subscribers to:
ƒ
Pause, rewind, fast-forward, or record live TV
ƒ Maintain a personal recorded program library and access it using the
IPG
ƒ Select programs to record across multiple channels and time slots
ƒ Rewind and replay recorded programs
ƒ Simultaneously watch two programs, switching easily between
them using the
SWAP
key
ƒ Record a program in the background while viewing another live
program
ƒ Simultaneously record programs from two channels while watching
a different pre-recorded program, with the ability to switch viewing
between any of the three programs
Motorola cannot guarantee the exact amount of programming that each
subscriber will be able to record. The approximate time depends on the
programming type and the drive size:
All times are approximate. The actual hours a subscriber can record are a
function of program bit rate, the IPG type, and the reserved buffer
space. A SATA port is available to connect an external drive to add DVR
recording capacity (advanced feature requiring firmware support).
