For example, you watch your favorite sporting game, pause the live action and help yourself to an ice-cold beverage from the fridge. Time-shift temporary saves the video to your hard disk for a specified period of time. When you return to your seat, you can resume viewing the program from the point where you left. Caution Time-shift can use significant disk space and cannot automatically skip commercials. 6. 6. 1 Additional Discussion In Time-shift, you are recording to and playing back from the same video file or buffer.
