Channel Master DVR+ (7500GB16) - Manual (Page 28)

22 :: Using the DVR+
Using the live pause feature on your DVR+
While viewing programming on a channel, pressing the PAUSE button on your remote control
activates an automatic memory buffer, capturing as much as 15 minutes of live TV. You can:
• Use the rewind, fast forward, skip back, skip forward, pause, and play functions of your remote
control on the buffered programming. Note that you cannot move backward past the last DVR+
activation or channel change, or forward into the future.
• The live TV buffer is reset when you change channels or put your receiver into standby mode.
• If you install an external USB hard-disk drive, the live TV buffer is automatically started on
each channel change and the capacity of the buffer is extended to as much as two hours of
programming.
Using the VUDU service on your DVR+
For simplicity and ease of use, access to the Internet-enabled VUDU on-demand movie application
is integrated into the Program Guide available on your DVR+. By accessing the channel 200 range
(see page 20 on how to change channels) from your guide, the information banner or other screens,
you exit from any over-the-air TV broadcast and enter the VUDU online application running on the
DVR+. (You must select the Confirm option when prompted.) The DVR+ receiver will be placed in
standby mode and recordings that you have set up or are in progress will continue uninterrupted.
Access to rent or buy VUDU movies on-demand using your DVR+ requires an account with the
VUDU service. There are several methods you may use to get started, depending on whether you
already have a VUDU username and password:
• If you do not have a VUDU or Walmart.com account, then you can browse for available movies
on the service and sign up directly from within the Internet application on your DVR+ receiver.
• You also may use a computer to visit www.vudu.com, and then select the Sign Up link to get
started.
• If you know your username and password for your existing VUDU account, you may sign in to it
directly on your DVR+ receiver.
• If you have an account on Walmart.com, then you can use that username and password to get
started.
