Control live TV and recordings

With DVR, you can control your TV in ways you never imagined. Pause

live TV when your best friend calls. View an instant replay, or rewind your

favorite scenes over and over again — all with a push of a few buttons on

your remote control.

Buffered programs

So how is all this possible? DVR creates a temporary recording of all

programs you are watching. This temporary recording is referred to as a

buffer. Depending on the DVR box you have, DVR automatically buffers

at least the last 45 minutes of the program you’re watching (15 minutes of

an HD program) and continues to buffer the channel until you:

• Switch to another channel — When you change channels, DVR

begins to buffer the program you just tuned to. It removes any

previous programs stored in the buffer.

• Turn of f your DVR box — When you turn off DVR, the buffer is erased.

• Record a program — When a scheduled recording begins or you

press the Record

button on your remote while watching live TV,

DVR clears the buffer and stores it on the hard drive.

Tip The buffer length varies based on the type of channel you are

watching.

• Analog Channels* — at least 45 minutes.

• Digital Channels** — up to 90 minutes.

• HD Channels (Motorola HD-capable DVR boxes only) — at least

15 minutes.

* Applies to Motorola DCT6412/6416 only (typically channels 100 and below).

** Applies to Motorola DCT6412/6416 (typically channels 100 and above).

Applies to Motorola DCT3412/3416 and Pace TDC 575D (all channels).

Status Bar

The Status Bar appears whenever you use a playback control such as

pause, rewind, or instant replay. It gives you details about the progress

of the program you are watching.

White indicates other

programs stored in

the buffer.

The white line marker

indicates where you are

in the program.

Green indicates the portion of

the current program stored in

the buffer.

You can rewind back to previous programs in the buffer (the white portion). When you do,

the status bar highlights that program by turning it green.

If you press Record

the entire current program in the buffer will be recorded and turn

red, even if you did not press Record at the beginning of the show. Previous programs in the

buffer will be deleted.
