Pausing Live TV
Using Live TV Pause, your Roku TV gives you the ability to pause, play, fast forward, and rewind digital broadcast TV. You can
pause live TV for up to 90 minutes.
Requirements
To use this feature, you need to:
1. Connect your TV to the Internet. If you didn’t connect during Guided Setup, see But what if I didn’t connect my TV? on page
20.
2. Provide your own dedicated USB drive with the following minimum specifications.
• 16 GB
• 15 Mbps read/write speed
• USB 2.0 compliant
A USB flash drive (thumb drive) meeting the minimum requirements is highly recommended. However, using a larger drive
does not extend the 90 minute pause time.
IMPORTANT: All existing content on your USB drive are erased when you enable this feature.
3. Enable Live TV Pause.
Enabling Live TV Pause
You can enable Live TV Pause in several ways:
Go to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Live TV Pause, and then select Enable.
After completing a channel scan, select Set up Live TV Pause from the available options.
Press the Play/Pause button on the Roku remote while watching a digital broadcast TV channel.
Highlight the Antenna TV tile on the Home screen, press [
] on the remote control, and then select Enable Live TV
Pause.
After starting Live TV Pause setup in any of these ways, the TV prompts you through the steps needed to enable this feature.
Setup takes only a few moments.
NOTE
• Use of a USB hub is not supported.
Using Live TV Pause
If you have used the Roku remote control to watch streaming channels, using Live TV Pause should be very familiar to you.
While watching a digital broadcast TV channel, press [ PLAY / PAUSE ] to pause or play the content. After the TV program
has been paused for 90 minutes, the TV resumes playing.
After watching a channel for a while, press [ REWIND ] to jump back up to the point where you first started watching the
channel, up to 90 minutes.
After pausing or rewinding, press [ FAST FORWARD ] to jump ahead up to the point where you are once again watching
the live TV program.
Press [ FAST FORWARD ] or [REWIND] repeatedly to cycle through 1x, 2x, and 3x skip speeds. Press [
] to play back
the last several seconds of the program.
NOTE
• If [
] is not available on your remote control, you can use [ ] on the Roku App or the [Back] on a universal remote.
