The Status Bar - TiVo BOLT Series Viewer's Manual

Watching Shows

THE STATUS BAR

In general, watching shows works the same whether you're watching live TV, recordings, streaming shows, or
video on demand. To bring up the status bar and control the video, press any of the following:
• PAUSE - the round button in the center of your remote.
• PLAY - at the top of the circle surrounding the PAUSE button in the center of your remote.
• FAST FORWARD - the right side of the circle surrounding the PAUSE button in the center of your remote.
• REWIND - the left side of the circle surrounding PAUSE button in the center of your remote.
When viewing the status bar, note that:
• In live TV, the status bar represents one hour and the white tick marks are 15 minutes apart.
• In recorded shows, streaming videos, and video on demand, the bar shows the program's length. The tick
marks are 15 minutes apart (further apart for a longer show).
AUTOMATICALLY SAVING LIVE TV
In live TV, the green segment of the status bar represents the part of the show automatically saved by your TiVo
box. The TiVo box automatically saves up to 30 minutes of live TV, so you can rewind live TV for up to 30
minutes. Press RECORD - the slightly concave, round button above the PLAY button - to record the saved
portion as well as the rest of the show.
Whenever you change channels, the saved portion of the old show is cleared, and the TiVo box starts saving the
show on the new channel. If you're behind live TV and watching something you still want to see, you should
avoid changing the channel. But you can watch another tuner by pressing LIVE TV - on the right of the TiVo
button at the top of your remote - without losing what's been saved.
