Is my PVR a digital box?
Yes. Your PVR is an HD digital box with additional
functionality that allows you to record, pause and
replay live TV.
Can I pause, rewind and fast-forward live TV from
any TV in my home?
Yes. You will have full PVR functionality on any TV
connected to an Optik digital box as long as another
TV in your home is connected to a PVR. An Xbox
360 can also have PVR functionality when it is used
in the same home as a PVR.
How long can I pause live TV for?
With a PVR, you can pause live TV for up to
90 minutes. After 90 minutes the paused program
will start playing again.
What happens when my PVR’s storage space
is full?
If all your recordings are protected and your PVR's
storage space is full, a pop-up will warn you and your
PVR will stop recording. You can check how much
space you have available on your PVR by following
the instructions on page 27.
What happens if I don't protect my recordings?
If your recordings are not protected, when less
than 10% of disk space is remaining, your PVR will
start deleting starting with the oldest unprotected
recordings. To find out how to protect your
recordings, see Customizing recording settings on
page 28.
How do I see how much recording space I have
left on my PVR?
Press the menu button, select recordings, then use
the down arrow button to select PVR Storage and
press OK. See page 27.
How much can I record on my PVR?
This will vary depending on the type of PVR you
have. You will be able to record at least 55 hours of
HD programming or 140 hours of standard definition
programming.
How many programs can I record at once?
At a minimum you can record 3 live programs at
once on your PVR, and one of these programs can
be in HD. Depending where you live you may be able
to record more than 1 show in HD at a time.
How many recordings can I watch
simultaneously?
Up to 4 recorded programs can be viewed
simultaneously, one of which has to be viewed on
the TV connected to your PVR.
Can I schedule a recurring recording?
Yes. See page 26 for instructions under Recording
a series.
If I pause live
TV
on channel 5, then change to
channel 6 for a bit, can I go back to watch what
I missed on channel 5?
No. If you change the channel, the live
TV
program
that was saved temporarily by your PVR will be
deleted. If you would like to be able to watch the
program again, ensure that you record the program.
If an onscreen Call Display pop-up appears
during a recording or if I view the menu screen,
will these images be recorded?
No, your PVR will only record the program you are
watching.
Can I watch a previously recorded program while
recording a live program?
Yes, recorded material is stored on your PVR’s
hard drive and watching it does not interfere with
recording live TV.
Can I record a PPV or On Demand program with
my PVR?
You can record a PPV event but you cannot record
an On Demand program.
If my PVR is off, will it still record a scheduled
program?
Yes, your PVR will turn on to start recording and turn
off when the recording is completed.
If I reboot my PVR will I lose my scheduled
recordings?
No, all of your scheduled recordings will be saved.
