Press the CLEAR button to hide the

® status bar, the program guide, the channel banner, and anything else that is not part of the program.

The Status Bar

When you press PLAY, PAUSE, FORWARD, or BACK, the status bar appears at the bottom of the screen. In live TV, the status bar represents one hour and the white tick marks are 15 minutes apart. In recorded programs, the bar shows the program’s length. The tick marks are 15,

30, or 60 minutes apart depending on the length of the program.

The green segment represents the part of the program saved by the DVR. The DVR automatically saves up to 30 minutes of live TV. You can move backward and forward through the saved portion of a live program.

In live TV, the right edge of the green segment represents the current time. A white vertical line shows where you are in the recording. If the white line is anywhere back in the green segment, you’re behind live TV. If you’re behind live TV, press ADVANCE ® to catch up.

The white line indicates where you are now.

Status Bar for live TV

You can only rewind live TV up to 30 minutes, or to the point where you last changed the channel on that tuner

(whichever is less). When you change the channel, you skip ahead to the current time on the new channel and start saving again.

If you’re behind live TV and watching something you still want to see, you should avoid changing the channel.
