Press the button labelled video. You should see the record menu appear on screen, press the yellow button to pause, green to resume.

No, and unfortunately, at present you need to manually delete the recording as far as I can tell.

It would be nice if this was automatically done after time shifting was stopped.

I think yes. pause without recording this means "Time shift". As far as I know, the "Time Shift" uses temp recording, so as soon as u move to another channel, the recorded part will be lost.

I can use my TV to pause a channel.
Check if your TV has this function.

Hi HB13DISH, Doesn't this just freeze the frame then, when you resume normal viewing, play what is currently being broadcast? e.g. if you've paused for 2 minutes then resume, then you've missed those 2 minutes.

I tried the time shift function last night and found that I could not get it to automatically delete the file it created on the hard drive.

I also found that when time shift has been activated, the hard drive is running constantly, even when you are not actively time shifting.

Maybe I am doing something wrong,

This is on Gemini 4.4
