36 TV-On-Demand™
TV-On-Demand
TV-On-Demand lets you pause a live program, return later, and
resume watching where you left off. You can view the show
from the beginning, even after it has started, without waiting
until the whole program is recorded.
You can quickly back up a program, watch the selected portion
again, and fast-forward or skip ahead to the live broadcast.
You can also export the recorded video as an MPEG (.MPG) file
or an ATI VCR file.
To start TV-On-Demand
Click the TV-On-Demand (upper) button or the Pause
(lower) button in the TV control panel.
If you click the TV-On-Demand button, the button and
the control panel change to TV-On-Demand mode,
video is recorded and displayed.
If you click the Pause button, the button and the control
panel change to TV-on-Demand mode, the last frame of
video is displayed, and video is recorded. When you
click the Play (lower) button, recorded video is displayed,
continuing from where you paused.
To return to live broadcasting
Click the Live TV button in the TV-on-Demand control
panel. Video recording stops. To keep recording while
you watch live TV, stay in TV-on-Demand mode and drag the
slider to the right (see To move within recorded video on
page 38).
You cannot use the Personal Video Recorder in
TV-on-Demand mode — use the Export function
instead (see To export recorded video on page 38).
If you do not hear TV audio, or if the audio is too low or
too high, see Troubleshooting on page 114.
