TV viewing with time shift
A TV program or DVB radio program that you watch or listen to is
recorded in the background in the time shift buffer.
You can stop recording the program at any time and play it later with a
time delay (time shift operation). The maximum Time offset amounts
to three hours.
On time shift operation, the program is not stored in the long term.
If you change the channel (switch over program), the current recording
is discarded, the time shift buffer being emptied.
If you want to save programs for a longer period use the archive re-
cording (see next page).
The recording in the time shift buffer is automatically started on TV
sets with integrated hard drive
(1
.
For TV sets without an integrated hard drive, the recording on the
externally connected USB hard drive only starts when the pause key
is pressed.
Recording of analogue channels is not possible.
Time-shifted operation is perhaps not possible or only to a limited
extent for programmes of channels working with CI Plus encryption
(see also chapter Sytem settings, section Extras – Common
Interface).
A seen and already finished program in the time shift buffer can be
transferred to the DR+ archive, provided no channel change has
taken place in the meantime.
The operation of time shift operation in DVB radio programs is
identical to the time shift operation in TV operation.
Interrupt watching (start timeshift television)
Press PAUSE key.
The pause icon is briefly displayed and TV picture
becomes a still picture. Time shift operation is started.
Continue (time shift viewing)
Press PLAY key.
The playback symbol will be shown briefly, now you will
see the TV program delayed in time from the moment
you had pressed the PAUSE key.
Time shift status display
In time shift operation, without further displays.
INFO: ShowTime shift status display.
In the lower area, you will see the number and name of
the channel, the beginning, the end and the title of the
current program as well as the title of the next program.
The grey progress bar indicates how far the time shift
buffer is filled with the content of the current program.
The white bar shows the current position in the time
shift buffer or how far the program has already been
viewed.
The time in the bar indicates the remaining time of the
current program.
For further options of time-shift watching see chapter
Sources, section Video playback.
Returning to live picture (end timeshift television)
Press STOP key.
You see the channel’s live picture again.
Switch to a different channel
If you switch to another station, the display appears on the TV set: End
timeshift and switch over. If you confirm this, the current recording
is discarded (time shift buffer is emptied).
The recording in the time shift buffer is automatically restarted on TV
sets with integrated hard drive
(1
after a change of channels.
For TV sets without an integrated hard drive, recording on the exter-
nally connected USB hard drive only starts after pressing the Pause
key after a channel change.
When switching between encrypted and unencrypted contents of the
same channel the timeshift buffer is also cleared.
When doing this, the timeshift television is interrupted and you see
the live picture of the broadcast.
As a precaution, start archive recording of interesting broadcasts when
watching channels with changing coding.
Setting bookmarks
You can manually set bookmarks during time-shift TV watching. For
this, the time shift recording is converted into an archive recording.
Press Play button longer: Delete bookmark.
