View Full Version : 721 - pause while watching recording

Hello,

It seems to me that - with the 721 - the only way to keep a live program paused, while watching a DVR recording, is to use the red button on the Platinum Plus remote to "minimize" the paused live buffer, which means that you have the little TV symbol on the screen during the playback of the recording.

And, it seems to me that if you don't use that red button, then the buffer is lost entirely (in fact, in my experience, when using the regular PIP button to cancel PIP entirely, then sometimes the channel on the non-visible tuner is changed to the previous one).

Is this correct - or am I missing something ?

Thanks for any responses.

I would say you are correct. I have no idea why they decided to remove the red button and its functionality from the newer remotes.
