PAUSING AND REWINDING LIVE TV
With Sky
+
, you can pause and rewind live TV. This is handy if you’re
interrupted during a programme or missed the beginning.
To pause the programme you’re watching, press pause on your remote
control. When you’re ready to come back to it, press play.
To go back and watch live TV, press rewind. When you see what you want to
watch, press play. Remember if you rewind for 30 minutes, for example, your
Sky
+
box has to have been showing that channel for the last 30 minutes.
You can then pause, rewind or fast forward within the programme.
• If you reach the start of the section, the picture is frozen at that point.
• If you reach the end, Sky
+
rejoins the live schedule.
To go back to watching live TV at any point, just press Sky then select.
While you’re watching the programme behind scheduled time, you can
use the Search & Scan banner as usual, but if you change channels, try
to see full channel listings or use interactive services, you have to go
back to live TV. You can then rewind or pause again.
30 minutes is the standard setting for rewinding live TV.
You can change this as described in Changing how far back you can
rewind live TV (page 31).
