I must be missing something. I can't seem to find a way to go back into a program you're watching then forward to the present time in said program. I downloaded the "tips and tricks" pdf but I don't see it.

Is there a "live" button or command available on the HR21's?

I think you have to FF back to the end of the buffer. Also - if you press & hold the FF button - it should skip to the end of the buffer.

crawdad62, may I guess that you're a replayTV fan? That button is pretty prominent on their remote.

There is no such button on the DIRECTV remote. Press-and-hold FF, or change channels then change back will do the trick.

Thanks guys. Actually Tivo and even my old SA8300 had the button. FF/hold will do the trick though.

Thanks again.

Just don't forget that changing channels and then going back dumps your buffer! :eek2:

You can also use the 30 sec SLIP button to go to live TV. Hold this button down for a few secs.

I stumbled across this the other day. Hit the PREV button and it acts a live TV button. Hitting it twice more brings you to current time.
