When I pause my Foxsat HDR and continue watching the programme on timeslip (say 10 minutes behind live tv), I find that when the next programme starts the HDR jumps to that programme and stops showing the timeshifted recording. It is possible to rewind, but is there a workaround to prevent this from happening?
Foxsat - Skips to New Programme whilst watching buffer
Record it and watch it via the media button, theres no other way.
I cant believe this skipped QA, your going to still be watching the program when you time shift 99% of the time when it finished on live TV.

It's a known bug that Humax have said will be corrected should they ever issue a new update.
In the interim, if you find yourself in the position of wanting to pause live TV, start a recording and watch it from the 'media list' as this will work correctly.
As Flyer says, it's barely believable that this ever passed QA and even more so that it was not fixed in the first big update.
As far as I'm aware, this only happens if you are recording the programme you pause.
I've sat around 10 minutes behind over several programmes before now.
Like people have said, if you're recording the programme then don't press pause, go in and watch the recording.

If you have two recordings due to start at the end of the programme you are time-slipping then you will lose the end anyway so always record rather than pause.

This bug is the main reason why Sky HD is still the first choice with us hillels. I can understand why the defect was missed in QA, as it doesn't happen under all circumstances. However, as basic PVR functionality, it really should have been fixed by now.

(One) answer would be to flag a conflict before the live buffer was flushed, with the option to record the paused program. Area's like this are the difference between a good product and what could be a class leader. Given the resources available to Sky I believe that the Humax PVR stacks up very well. However, with a few tweaks to usability, it could be outstanding.
(Most of our gripes are sorted by using a Harmony Remote. However, the live pause is a real bummer.)
