Do you have to tell it what to save or can tou revert back to something on tv without notice?

If you don’t have it set to record, it records what you watch, so half way through you can tell it to record it and it will go back to the beginning.

It is great!!! I am convinced that I don’t watch any more tv than I used to, but this way when I have the time; I can watch what I want instead of what is on. Also, when you watch your recorded show, you can zip through all of the commercials and watch the same show, in almost half of the4 time!

You can rewind what is on your channel at all times..BUT if you change channels it erases it. Unless you hit the "record" button and it saves it, and you go into the "menu" and it's categorized on screen, date and time.

It's hard for me to explain it..:(

It does have it’s limits...

If you want to set it to record something in advance just like a VCR you can do that. If you want to record on the fly you can do that.

If you start a show like Greta’s show but don’t hit record when it starts and if you decide you want to record Greta some 15 minutes into the show. Then you can rewind the back 15 minutes and start replaying and recording from the beginning of the show. You will actually be 15 minutes behind the real time if you did that.

Or let’s say you are tuned into Greta’s show and you are 5 minutes into the show and you get a phone call that last’s through the whole show but you leave the DVR on and tuned to Greta’s show. You can rewind all the way back to beginning of Greta’s show and replay it in real time mode. BUT if you would change the channel it would wipe it out of the cache and you could not go back to it unless you actually hit the record button on the DVR to record Greta’s show.

I cannot record one channel and watch another channel at the same with mine but newer ones will allow to do this.
