With io DVR, can you rewind a program you haven't been watching?

Question

Lets say I was on channel 31, and its 5 minutes into the TV show which i'm watching. Then, I flip up to channel 34, and find that my favorite show is on. Can I rewind this show, to the beginning (5 minutes back) without having watched it from the start NOR recorded?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

Hi Sabrina,

You can always rewind the channel the DVR was set to.

In our house I feed the DVR through a HDMI input. We watch our TV through the cable input. If I am watching, say, channel 4 and I left the DVR on channel 7 when I finished with it I can switch over to the DVR and rewind channel 7.

No, the dvr only temporarly saves what you have been watching.  If you havnt been watching the channel, or you change channels, all temporary memory is lost.
