Whole Home PVR
With Whole Home PVR you can watch and record programs on any connected set top box in your
home. While watching a recorded program, you can pause, stop, fast forward, and rewind the
recording from any set top box in your home. You can use four set top boxes at any given time
within your home.
Completion of Scheduled Recording in Standby Mode
When you schedule a program to be recorded, the recording completes even if the PVR set top
box is in standby mode during recording.
Record a Single Program
You can record the program you are currently watching, or you can schedule a single program to
be recorded in the future. You can make recordings from all set top boxes in your home if you
have one set top box with digital video recording capability and you subscribe to PVR Service.
Record the Program You Are Watching
While watching full screen Live TV, you can make recordings with a PVR set top box. You can make
and view recordings from any set top box in your home.
You can record the program until its scheduled end, or you can add padding time after the end of
the recording to ensure that the whole program records if it runs longer than expected.
To record the program you are watching until its scheduled end:
1. Press the RECORD button on your remote control.
2. The message Recording appears briefly on the screen. The RECORDING light on your PVR set
top box lights up and remains on while the program is recording.
3. The recording begins immediately and stops automatically at the end of the program.
Note: avoid shutting off the power to your set top box for at least an hour after your recording has
finished. If you turn off power to your set top box immediately after a recording finishes, there is a
slight possibility that your recording may be lost.
Stop the Recording of the Program You Are Watching
You can press the STOP button on the remote control to stop the recording of the program you
are watching.
To stop recording a TV program that you are watching:
1. Press the STOP button on your remote control while watching a program in full screen TV. A
message appears that enables you to stop or continue recording.
2. Select STOP RECORDING, and then press OK. The message Recording stopped appears. The
Program Guide
no longer displays a red dot in the grid cell for that program.
Note: If you do not want to stop the recording, select KEEP RECORdINg, and then press the
OK button.
Recording Live TV Progress Indicator
1. The point you are watching in the recorded portion, indicated by a vertical line with the time
below it.
2. How far you can rewind or fast forward, indicated by the shaded areas before and after the
point in the program that you are currently watching.
3. The point at which you would be watching Live TV, indicated by the end of the forward shading.
The progress indicator disappears after a few seconds. You can display the progress indicator at
any time by pressing PLAY on your remote control.
Recording TV Programs
You can make recordings if you have a set top box with Personal Video Recording PVR set top box
and you subscribe to PVR Service.
With a Personal Video Recorder you can:
• Record current shows.
• Record an individual show or a series
of episodes that occur at regular
intervals.
• Schedule future shows to record.
• Watch recorded shows at any time.
You cannot make recordings if you do
not have a PVR set top box. Tbaytel
Digital TV stores your recordings and
keeps an up-to-date list of them.
Use the
Recorded TV
screen and
the
Program Guide
to find recorded
programs. You can pause, rewind, and
fast forward recorded shows just as you
would a DVD or a videotape.
