6. Controlling Live TV with Live-off-Disk (LOD)

Almost immediately after you tune to a channel, your HDPVR automatically begins recording it in the
background to a special part of the hard drive called the LOD buffer. In the same way that you can
control a recorded program, you can control live TV! Simply press one of the playback control buttons
described on page 34 to get started.
Note: You cannot fast forward past the current "live" position of a program.
The LOD buffer is cleared each time you change channels, including using MiniTune. Subject to
available space on the hard drive, if you remain on one channel for a prolonged period of time
the LOD buffer will retain the current program and previous program, regardless of length.
If you decide part way through that you would like to permanently record the program you are currently
watching, just press the RECORD button on the remote control and confirm the recording. All parts
available in the LOD buffer will be copied to the PVR List and the remainder of the program will be
recorded.
If you have tuned into a program part way through, or changed channels after tuning in, the entire
program will not be available to copy to the PVR List, as indicated by the blank gaps in the playback bar.
You can use the "View upcoming air dates" option to find a future airing of this program and schedule a
future recording if desired.

channels as many times as you want and the remainder of the program will still be recorded.
