How do the pause, fast forward and rewind functions work?
The TiVo unit constantly records the incoming television signal, allowing users to pause or rewind “live” TV within a 30 minute buffer. Many viewers use this capability to watch “live” TV with limited interruption from commercials by starting to watch from the beginning of the program 10-15 minutes after it’s started, then fast-forwarding through commercials. It’s also a convenient feature for watching sporting events, allowing viewers to review exciting plays, pause for bathroom breaks or fast forward through boring commentary.
