Use the WOW! DVR to...
CONTROL LIVE TV...
While you watch your favorite TV program, the Explorer 8000 Home Entertainment
Server (Entertainment Server) is storing a copy in the built-in DVR.
The telephone is ringing and you do not want to miss any scenes of your favorite
TV program. DVR lets you PAUSE the program, or REWIND and PLAY a portion of it
again, or FAST-FORWARD it to watch a specific scene.
Sports fans, enjoy complete control by using INSTANT REPLAY to watch your
favorite play again.
RECORD TV PROGRAMS WITHOUT A VCR...
RECORD and save your favorite TV programs to the DVR to watch later.
When two of your favorite TV programs are scheduled at the same time, RECORD
one program to the built-in recorder while watching the other!
Never miss your favorite programs that are scheduled at the same time. Simply
RECORD both programs at the same time.
RECORD a single episode or all episodes of your favorite TV programs.
AND... WATCH TWO TV PROGRAMS AT THE SAME TIME.
Picture-in-Picture lets you watch a movie on the Main screen and the soccer game
in the PIP screen.
When something exciting occurs in the soccer game, easily swap the soccer game
to the Main screen, and continue watching the movie in the PIP screen.
When the PIP screen is covering a "must see" moment on the Main screen, simply
MOVE the PIP screen to a different corner of your TV screen.
