Pause Buffer
TV Mode
The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored
during the Pause mode. The maximum amount of time which your TV
program can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space
you have set for the Pause buffer.
When you click the Full screen TV button, TV will appear full
screen on your PC monitor. When finished watching TV full screen,
click your right mouse button in the TV window. If you see video with
a black box around it, click the Pref button then click TV mode tab.
Check the box which says “Allow resolution change”.
Clicking the Pause button will start recording into WinTV's Replay
Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized
and for Pause to become effective.
Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to
start playing from the point where the button was originally pushed.
Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live
mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window,
go into "no-title mode", etc.
While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the
Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video
Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay
Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you
would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer.
"Always on top" Mode
The WinTV application will remain in view over any other applica-
tions even if it is not selected. To turn on, click the Always on top
button. It will turn green. To turn off, click this button again.
A convenient way to use Always-on-top is to make the TV window in
the no-title mode small, and to make the TV window in the title mode
larger. Then you can switch from a small window to a larger one by
clicking the right mouse button.
ote: For more information LNB and DiSEqC settings please
Nrefer to the manual.
Click on the “Scan“ to start the scanning process which may take
some time.
When channels are found they will appear in the space on the bottom
right hand side window. Once you have completed configuring your
sources click on “Close”.

Record and Playback modes
5. WinTV-Scheduler
Clicking the Slow Motion button during playback will cause the
video to play in slow motion (at 1/2 speed). Clicking the Slow Motion
button again will return the video to normal playback speed.
Record
WinTV-Scheduler allows you to schedule the recording of TV shows.
WinTV-Scheduler, once it is set, can be closed, and the WinTV applica-
tion will “wake up” at the desired time and tuned to the desired channel.
After installation, WinTV-Scheduler can be found by going to
Start / Program files / Hauppauge WinTV.
Replay
While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the
Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the
audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previ-
ously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go
back 10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video
you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. If
you want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would need
to click the Replay button six times.
File button
Display Counter
Clicking the File button opens the File menu. The last file record-
ed is listed in the File name box. In the File menu you can:

● Rename your recorded video file: To rename a video file, find the
file you would like to rename, highlight it with your mouse, and click
and hold the right mouse button. Go down to Rename and then you
can type in a new name. Remember: you must keep the MPG
extension on the file.
● Play a video file previously recorded: Find the file you would like to
play, highlight it with your mouse (one click of the mouse button)
and click Open. Then click the Play button.

Click the Playback button on the WinTV application to open the
Record and Playback control bar. Clicking the Record will automatical-
ly generate a file name and start recording your audio/video program.
If you click Record button more than once, a record timer will be set
and the recording will be done for 15 minutes for each time the
Record button is clicked. For example, if you click the button 3 times,
the WinTV will record for 30 minutes.
For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab
the Video Position indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once
you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to play (it might take a
few seconds for the WinTV application to start playing).
You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and
right to find the desired spot to start replaying audio/video.
While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded
in the Replay Buffer. Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3
times (so that you are replaying the audio/video seen 30 seconds
ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 seconds
behind the live program.
● Delete recorded video files which you no longer want: Click your
right mouse button on the video file once, go down the menu and
click Delete.
Functions:
● When recording TV, the record button will depressed
WinTV-Scheduler works by using the Windows Task Scheduler to
launch WinTV at the chosen time. WinTV-Scheduler sets up a com-
mand line in Task Scheduler to run WinTV, specifying a TV channel
and a length of time to record.
● A time counter will be shown indicating the lenght of time of the
recording
If you click Stop the time counter will revert back to 00:00:00
The time is specified in a Hour:Minute:Second format.
