Using your
Plex Advanced TV service
Quick tip: When not in use for 4 hours the digital receiver will automatically enter standby mode to conserve energy. But don’t
worry; your scheduled recordings will not be interrupted.
HIGH DEFINITION TV
High Definition (HD) is an entirely new way to watch television. Experience a true
widescreen picture that’s up to 10x better than regular cable TV. And with 5.1
Dolby® Digital sound, HD is a treat for your ears as well.
All North State digital receivers are HD-ready,
you’ll find the HD channels between 1000 and 1435.
MANAGING LIVE TV FEEDS
Plex Advanced TV supports up to 6 TVs and delivers 5 HD and 2 SD TV feeds to your household. A TV feed can be a live TV show,
a Video On Demand program or a Pay Per View (PPV) event. If you have 2 or more TVs tuned to the same live TV program you’ll
only be using 1 live TV feed. Also, watching programs that have already been recorded on your DVR doesn’t use a live feed.
For example, you can do one of the following:
• Watch 6 different live TV programs; 5 in HD and 1 in SD
• Record 1 live program on your DVR and watch 6 other live programs
• Record 2 live programs on your DVR and watch 5 live programs
The number of live HD (high definition) programs you can watch at once depends on the service in the area you live. All Plex Ad-
vanced TV homes can watch or record at least 5 live TV program in HD and 2 in SD (standard definition) at the same time. Depend-
ing on the service availability at your home, you may be able to watch or record 2 live TV programs in HD and a third in standard
definition.
If you try to watch or record more live TV programs than you have available feeds, your Plex Advanced TV service will present you
with options to select the programs that you wish to watch or record.
For example, if 3 live TV programs are being watched and a fourth TV is turned on to watch another program, you will be prompted
to choose which programs you want to continue to watch or record. If you choose to interrupt a program on another TV, a message
will be displayed on both affected TVs.
With your Plex Advanced TV DVR, while the live TV feeds are being used to watch or record live programs, you can watch up to 4
recorded programs on your other TVs. Viewing a recorded program does not use a live TV feed as it is stored on your DVR.
In the guide, HD programs are identified by an HD icon after the program title.
