Controlling Live TV with the DVR

How the DVR Handles Live TV

Whenever you tune in to a Verizon FiOS TV

channel, the DVR instantly begins storing

the show in its internal memory and will

continue to do so until you tune to a

different channel. At this point, it discards

the previous channel’s show and begins

storing the new one. This memory technology

allows you to control live TV in the ways

described below. Once the internal memory is full,

it will progressively store the most recent portion of that channel’s
show, discarding the oldest.

Pause or Resume Live TV; Frame Advance

Press

PAUSE

on your remote to freeze the TV show

you’re watching. Pressing the

PAUSE

button repeatedly

will advance the video one frame at a time. When you’re
ready, press

PLAY

to resume the show where you left off.

Rewind or Fast-Forward Live TV

Press

REW

on your remote to rewind the show you’re

watching to an earlier point in time. (The DVR continues to
store the live broadcast in its memory.) You can only
rewind as far back in time as when you first tuned in to this channel, up
to the limit of the internal memory. Press

PLAY

to resume watching

from the desired point in the show.

Press

FFWD

to fast-forward a previously paused

live TV show. Press

PLAY

to resume watching.

Pressing

REW

or

FFWD

up to four times allows

you to increase the speed at which you rewind
or fast-forward a program. Press once for 3x
speed, twice for 15x, three times for 60x and
four times for 300x.
