Live
TV
Live
TV can be accessed via either pressing the Live TV button on the
remote, or selecting it from the TiVo
Central menu (if you are recording then only the channel being
recorded is available).
The
programme banner appears at the top of the screen when you change
channels, and can also be displayed by pressing the right arrow
on the remote. Pressing the right arrow
whilst the banner is already displayed cycles between three available
styles: full banner with title and description, reduced banner
with title, and time banner showing the time and channel. The
full banner also has shortcuts to record,
parental controls, and TiVo's
messages.
The
time bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen during trick
play operations, and can also be displayed by pressing the
play button on the remote. As you watch
Live TV a buffer is automatically recording what you are watching
making up to the last thirty minutes of viewing available (if
you change channels this buffer is cleared).
Whilst
watching Live TV you can pause the programme at any time, view
an instant replay of the last eight seconds, or even rewind back
to see something that has already been on. For full details of
the options available and more details of the time bar see the
trick play section.
To
change channels use the channel up/down keys on the remote,
or key in the channel number directly. Pressing the enter key
selects the previous channel viewed allowing you to toggle between
two channels.
You
can press record whilst watching Live TV to record
the current programme. You can even store the contents of the
live TV buffer, so if you watch something and then wished you'd
recorded it, you can!
Whilst
watching Live TV you can also bring up a semi-transparent whats-on
guide by pressing the Live TV button again on the remote
control.
To
clear any on-screen displays press the Clear button on the remote.
