Controlling TV playback
The personal video recorder functionality lets you record
single shows or capture entire series for later viewing.
When you open the My TV window and begin watching
live TV, Media Center begins recording the selected
program in the background for up to 30 minutes. When
you pause a live TV program while watching in full-screen
mode, the time-shifting window appears.
You can return to the live broadcast by pressing the Live
TV button on the remote control.
When you change the channel, Media Center deletes the
previously recorded portion and begins recording again
after a short delay.
You cannot use time shifting when recording a TV
program. For example, you can't pause a live TV
program and then rewind to the beginning of the pause
buffer and then begin recording. You can record a TV
program only from live TV.

forwarding live TV. Media Center allows
