Description Of Individual Menu Items; Back; Switch To Channel; Watch // Pause / Watch From The Beginning - Motorola VIP 1910 Installation Instructions And Manual

10.1 Description of individual menu items:

10.1.1 Back

Return to the previous screen (EPG)

10.1.2 Switch to channel

Displays live TV broadcasting of the given channel.

10.1.3 Watch // Pause / Watch from the beginning

First of the Enhanced TV functions. "Watch" also displays the TV broadcast, but with the option to pause
and rewinding the ongoing program, for example if you need to leave the TV for a while.
How does it work? Select "watch" and confirm with the OK button and you will return to the live broadcast.
If you now click on OK to display the quick EPG, it will be slightly different – there will be three new
buttons in its lower part which can be used to control the program. These buttons mean:
 Delete (striped square in the left) – deletes the control menu from the screen so it does not
disrupt the program. It can be displayed again by pressing OK.
 Pause / play (two lines in the middle) – pauses the current program. After being used, it changes
to a Play button (triangle) to turn the (delayed) program on again.
Stop (white square in the right) – back to live (un-delayed) broadcasting.

Press the up cursor arrow to navigate to the timeline above the buttons. You can then use the left/right
buttons to rewind the program until its beginning. Start the program by pressing play/pause.
Return to the buttons under the timeline by again pressing the down arrow.
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.
In the Menu, these functions are labeled "Pause" and
"Watch from beginning". Their functions are the same –
one stops (and starts) the current program, the other starts
the current program from its 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.

10.1.5 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 to 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
