Pausing and rewinding live TV
With the Sky + service, you can pause and rewind live TV. This is handy if
you're interrupted during a programme or missed the beginning.
To pause the programme you're watching, press pause on your remote
control. When you're ready to come back to it, press play.
To go back and watch live TV, press rewind. When you see what you want
to watch, press play. Remember it's only possible to rewind live TV if you've
previously been tuned to that channel. For example, if you've been tuned to
the channel for the past 17 minutes you can rewind for 17 minutes. Changing
channels restarts the period from which you can rewind live TV.
30 minutes is the standard setting for rewinding live TV but you can change
this as described in Changing how far back you can rewind live TV (page 40).
You can then pause, rewind or fast forward within the programme.
•
If you reach the start of the section, the picture is frozen at that point.
•
If you reach the end, you rejoin the live programme.
To go back to watching live TV at any point, just press Sky or stop.
While you're watching the programme behind scheduled time, you can
use the Now, Next & Later banner as usual, but if you change channels
or use interactive services, you have to go back to live TV. You can then
rewind or pause again.
If you go into your Sky Guide pages while still rewinding, Sky + stops
rewinding and starts playing the programme back from that point. The
programme is shown in the mini TV of the Sky Guide screens (audio only
in full-screen mode).
See page 43 for more details on using the fast forward and rewind
functions.
