If your home network gets congested, you can pause your downloads by
pressing the YELLOW button from the Queue screen. Press the YELLOW
button a second time to resume downloading. To get to the Queue screen
from Live TV, press MENU, select “Manage Recordings”, then select
“Queue.”
Once the program has started downloading, it will appear in your Playlist
like the rest of your recorded shows. How quickly it downloads depends on
the speed of your broadband connection. If it is fast, you can start watching
your show immediately while it is downloading. If the connection is slow,
you may start watching the show, but when you “catch up” to what has been
downloaded, the show will pause. The color of the download progress bar
indicates whether the program will pause. Green means that it will not
pause. Yellow means it might. Red means the program will eventually pause
if you start watching now. (Note: Program playback pauses, but the download
continues.)
You can easily tell which shows in your Playlist came from DIRECTV on
DEMAND by the “VOD” label next to the program title. “VOD” stands for
“Video on Demand.”
