Pause buffer:

The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored dur-
ing the Pause mode. The maximum amount of time which your TV pro-
gram can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space you
have set for the Pause buffer and which type of MPEG format you have
chosen. Both of these can be set in the MPEG settings menu (see the
section entitled "Configuring the format for MPEG compression").
To catch up to the "live" audio/video program, you can either exit the
Pause mode by clicking the TV mode button, you can click the Skip
button, which skips ahead 10 seconds per click, or you can grab the
Video Position indicator and move it to the right until it is at the end of
the Video Position bar.
The Limit Pause Mode buffer size sets the maximum size of the Pause
buffer.
Here are some suggested sizes:
