Time-Shifting
Time-shift lets you skip commercials (not automatically, however), pause and replay
while watching real-time TV — without interrupting any ongoing recording — by
temporarilysavingthe“live”videotoyourharddiskforaspeciedperiodoftime.
InTime-shift,youarerecordingtoandplayingbackfromthesamevideoleor
buffer.Youcanplaybackfromvariouslocationsinthatbuffer.Aswithvideo
playback, you can pause, fast-forward and rewind. A major difference, however, is
that the software is simultaneously recording real-time television while playing
back from the buffer. NOTE:Time-shiftcanuseasignicantamountofdiskspace.
