Time-Shifting TV
Arcade also has a Time-Shifting function that can be enabled. To create an
instant replay, Arcade records the TV broadcast as a file, creating a slight lag
between the live broadcast and the TV content that you watch. (The instant
replay file cannot be saved, however, and you cannot watch this file in the
Recorded TV window.) You can navigate forward and backward within the file
to create an instant replay or to skip over commercials.
Note: One of your local drives must contain at least 2 GB of free
space in order to enable the instant replay function.
