Understanding Time Shift Ability:
If your Set Top Box has PVR capabilities and hard drive space available, then it will also have
the “Time Shift” feature. Time Shift means your STB is always recording in the background
of the broadcast that you are currently viewing. This allows you to PAUSE, REWIND, and RE
WATCH the live broadcast. By default the “TIME SHIFT LENGTH” is set to 30min.
The RECORDINGS menu functions:
SELECT USB STORAGE DEVICE: This allows you to select the compatible recording device.
External or inbuilt Hard Drive.
RECORDING START LEAD TIME: By default this setting is set to 5min. This means that
before any recording, the preceding 5 minutes of the broadcast will also be added to your
recording to ensure you do not miss anything. This setting can be set between 0min-30min.
This feature is dependent on the TIME SHIFT ability.
RECORDING END DELAY: Similarly the Recording End Delay, this feature adds additional
time to your recording, ensuring any delays by the broadcaster will not disrupt your
recording. By default, the End Delay is set to 30min, but it can be set between 0min-120min.
TIMESHIFT LENGTH: As mentioned in “Understanding Time Shift Ability”, this feature sets
the time of which live TV is recorded in the background. By default this is set to 30min, but
you can set various intervals between 15min-120min.
TIMESHIFT: This option turns the “Time-Shift” function ON/OFF. If your Set Top Box is PVR
enabled, this feature is by default ON.
JUMP FORWARD: This setting directly affects the Fast Forward (FWD) Button. This setting
can be set to 10min, 20min, 30min.
JUMP BACKWARDS: This setting directly affects the Rewind (REW) Button. This setting can
be set to 10min, 20min, 30min.
SERIES RECORD: The Series Recording setting allows you to choose between Current
Channel or All Channels. This means your Set Top Box will search for the Series Title either
on the designated channel or on all accessible TV channels.
FORMAT RECORDING DEVICE: This feature prepares the connected hard drive for Personal
Video Recording (PVR) from the Set Top Box. BEWARE! This will remove any existing data
on the storage device.
CHECK RECORDING DEVICE: This feature tests whether the Hard Drive can record and play
back content reliably.
