Pause Playback; Play From Beginning; Record - Motorola VIP 1910 Installation Instructions And Manual

8.1.2

Pause playback

Pauses playback of the current program, for example
if you need to leave the TV. To continue playback,
enter the Enhanced TV menu again and use the
"Unpause playback" button, which is now displayed
instead of the "Pause playback" button. Select the
button and confirm with OK. Playback will start from
where it was paused (delayed). To return to the real-
time broadcast (live) use the "back to live broadcast"
button.
There is now also a "rewind" (Seek backward) button,
which enables not only pausing, but rewinding as
well. Fast-forward is not possible.
Note: Pause can be activated not only from the menu, but also (and better) by using the play/pause
button (the far left VCR button – see image of remote control). The stop button (far right) goes back to live
broadcasting. The second button from the left side can be used for rewinding. Be careful not to press the
colored buttons, but those above them.
8.1.3

Play from beginning

The play from beginning function enables replaying an ongoing program from the beginning.
Note: The system does this according to the EPG, so there will be commercials at the beginning which
cannot be skipped. However, fast-forward is possible in the new Portal version (this is probably the most
significant functional difference between the two visual versions). In the case of an extremely long
program (for example a tennis match with many sets), the beginning is not guaranteed.
8.1.4

Record

Clicking on "Record" activates the virtual video recorder and initiates recording of the current program.
The recorder is virtual because it is not integrated into the set-top box, neither is it necessary to connect it
in any way. Videos are recorded centrally at T-Systems servers.
Several notes regarding this type of recording:

Recording is always performed according to information from the EPG, which means that:
It is possible to record programs from their beginning even if they are already under way
o
(=all programs are recorded from their beginning).
It is not possible to record a program otherwise than as stated in the EPG (= it is not
o
possible to skip the commercials before a program and start recording after them, it is not
possible to record only part of a program – even if turned on halfway through, the entire
program will be recorded).
If the broadcast is not on time as stated in the EPG (usually delayed), this affects the
o
recording. Hence the video recorded automatically starts recording some time before the
selected program and ends some time after its end.

It is possible to watch something else then what is being recorded.

It is possible to record multiple programs simultaneously (and watch something else as well).

It is possible to record when you are not there using a timer (programmed recording).

Every customer has their maximum time limit for recordings. The limit cannot be exceeded. If
your "virtual video cassette" (storage space) is full, it is not possible to record further without
deleting something. These limits are stated in the viaTV FAQ on the website. Premium price
plans have more space for recordings.

Your programs are saved in your storage space for an unlimited time. They are not automatically
deleted in time.

It is not possible to access the recorded programs otherwise than via the set-top box (they cannot
be burned to a CD, etc.). It is not possible to edit recorded videos

Some TV stations may restrict or prohibit recording of their programs. In such a case, it is not
possible to record them via the Enhanced TV service.
