Instant Replay?
I'll probably sound really stupid here but what does instant replay mean?
It is currently set to 15 seconds. I read the manual but it doesn't really make sense. I found out what Skip Forward means

Or use it whenever somebody talks over you trying to watch television, as in: "Shut up! Now what was the important line I missed...?" {Instant Replay}

![]() It's a really handy feature, and I use the forward and backward skips to get through the adverts nice and quick. |

Menu > Settings > Recording > Ok, third and fourth on list |

Is it only used for things you have recorded, or can you also use it on live tv when you have paused? I'm not able to try it yet.

but live tv must be in chasing play back and there needs to be something in the buffer. Obviously you can't jump 1 or 2 mins in advance if the signal hasn't been transmitted yet However you can jump back on live tv just as you can pause it

And, as you say, you can use the instant replay and skip buttons in both. Rgds. Les. |

thanks savvy your right I knew when I typed it that I may have got them mixed up and then I forgot to confirm it before submitting my reply
![]() ![]() I didn't think you would mind me pointing it out.I always used to get Chase Play & TS mixed up until I thought about it logically - you have to be PLAYING a recording to Chase PLAY back (helped me, anyway )Rgds. Les. |

Just one little extra point. With the HDR at present, it is better to chase a recording than timeshift live TV. If you use time shift on a programme that is being recorded, the programme will jump to the live broadcast when the recording ends. It's a bug that will hopefully be fixed soon. It's not a problem with a programme that is not being recorded but there are any number of things that you might do that will cause the timeshift buffer to be cleared.
I've got into the habit of pressing instant record rather than pause if I want to interupt a live programme that is not being recorded. I can then do anything I want with the STB, including putting it into standby, and chase play the recording later. Of course, if you are already recording two programmes and are watching one of the still available channels, timeshift is the only option. |

Watching but not time shifting is available, when recording two on different transponders, on channels on the same transponder as either recording http://www.hummy.org.uk/forums/showp...72&postcount=1 |
