Live TV Pause Time
The HD DVR’s Live TV Pause Time feature allows you to set the amount of time of live TV
programming that will be saved (see “Live TV Pause Time” on page 37). If the Live TV Pause
Time is set to 30 minutes, you will be able to view and control up to 30 minutes of
programming. The live TV pause time is re-set in the following cases:
• When the TV channel is changed.
• When the HD DVR is turned off (standby).
• When the Live TV Pause Time setting is changed (see page 37).
• When the current or default audio settings are changed (see page 40).
• When the Auto Off feature occurs (see page 36).
• When power is removed from the HD DVR by unplugging the AC power cord or through
a power interruption.
• When a recording begins or ends.

screen saver can appear if a program is paused for at least 10 minutes or if a menu is displayed
for at least 10 minutes without any activity. Press any button to remove the screen saver and
