Pausing and rewinding live TV
With the Sky± service, you can pause and rewind live TV. This is handy if you’re
interrupted during a programme or missed the beginning.
To pause the programme you’re watching, press pause on your remote control.
When you’re ready to come back to it, press play.
To go back and watch live TV, press rewind. When you see what you want to watch,
press play. Remember it’s only possible to rewind live TV if you’ve previously been
tuned to that channel. For example, if you’ve been tuned to the channel for the past
17 minutes you can rewind for 17 minutes. Changing channels restarts the period
from which you can rewind live TV.
30 minutes is the standard setting for rewinding live TV but you can change this as
described in Changing how far back you can rewind live TV (page 40).
You can then pause, rewind or fast forward within the programme.
• If you reach the start of the section, the picture is frozen at that point.
• If you reach the end, you rejoin the live programme.
To go back to watching live TV at any point, just press Sky or stop.
While you’re watching the programme behind scheduled time, you can use the
Now, Next & Later banner as usual, but if you change channels or use interactive
services, you have to go back to live TV. You can then rewind or pause again.
If you go into your Sky Guide pages while still rewinding, Sky± stops rewinding
and starts playing the programme back from that point. The programme is
shown in the mini TV of the Sky Guide screens (audio only in full screen mode).
See page 43 for more details on using the fast forward and rewind functions.
