What Is Time Shift ?


Everyone wishes to rewind time, good news now you can, well in TV land that is.  Timeshift should be set to "on" for 2 hours by default on your Topfield DVR if not you will need to enable it.

With timeshift on, whenever you view a channel the DVR is temporarily recording what you are viewing onto its internal hard drive.  If someone knocks at the door or you decide to make a sandwich, you can come back rewind button to watch what you have missed.

Alternatively you can press the PAUSE button and when you come back press the PLAY button to continue watching from where you left off.

Now let's say one of those pesky ads appeared during your timeshift space, what shall we do ? On your Topfield DVPR you can skip them using the  "jump button" , which is the yellow button.  This button can be programmed to jump from 10 to 3 minutes. If you go overboard you can then press the blue button on your remote to jump back 10 seconds, which will enable you to smoothly back back into the begining of the show again.

Topfield DVRs can rewind upto 5 hours of timeshift.

Recording Timeshift buffer

Back home from work you turn the PVR on and begin to watch a show you find interesting as times goes past. You wish you had setup a recording for it ? No problem.  a TOpfield DVR will enable you to go back to rewind back to the start of the timeshift buffer [when you turned the TV on] and press the record button.

We hope you have found this article useful and if you have already bought a Topfeild DVR you can take advantage of these features.
