DIRECTV Plus ® DVR Features in Live TV
Live Buff er: Th e DIRECTV Plus® DVR saves programs to the hard drive instantly and continuously, while
you watch. Th is "live buff er" lets you pause, rewind, fast forward or "instant replay." (Note: You cannot fast
forward during live TV until you pause or rewind a program.) If you start watching a program late, even if
it is not set to record, you can back up to the beginning (up to 90 minutes) using REWIND, as long as you
haven't changed channels since the program started.
Cruise Controls: Use the PAUSE, FFWD, REWIND, REPLAY, RECORD and ADVANCE keys to
control your viewing time. Pressing FFWD or REWIND multiple times lets you increment the speed at
which you cruise through a program. Pressing and holding PLAY shows the program in slow motion. If you
press FFWD while a program is paused, the program is displayed in frame-by-frame.
If you press PAUSE during a program, the saved portion you can access extends from 90 minutes to 4
hours, depending upon the length of the program you were watching when you pressed PAUSE. When the
program has completed, or if you change channels, you are asked if you want to save the program.
When you use Cruise Control keys, a "control bar" shows you where you are in the program, the start and
end time of the program, how much of the program has been stored and the program title.
If you are viewing a screen with a TV Window, such as the Guide or an Info screen, icons are displayed in
the window to identify the current state (e.g., playing, paused, fast forward, etc.).
