WHAT IS A DVR?
The Hopper is a Whole-Home HD Digital Video Recorder (DVR) that lets you watch TV the
way that you want. You can pause, reverse, or skip back through a program. Then you can
resume watching TV. Also, you can record and play back programs with full digital audio
and video quality, without a VCR.
For example, if you get a phone call while you are watching a live or recorded program,
you can pause the program, talk on the phone for an hour, resume the program from
where you left off (or restart the program), and not miss any of the action.
You can move through a program forward and backward in slow motion or frame-by-frame
using your DVR auto-recording features while watching live or recorded programs.
PAUSING A PROGRAM
On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time
may cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your
TV user’s guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV,
what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and any
associated TV warranty coverage.
For a live TV program, the on-screen pause timer shows how long you have paused the
program. The pause timer shows how far you are behind the live program. You can pause
a live program for as long as an hour. (Each receiver in your whole-home DVR service can
do this.) If you think you might be away from the TV for more than an hour, but don’t want
to miss any of the program, consider recording the program (see page 54).
