Additional Discussion
In Time-shift, you are recording to and playing back from the same video file or buffer. You can playback from
various locations in that buffer. Similar to video playback, you can pause, fast-forward, and rewind. A major
difference is that SmartTV-DX software is simultaneously recording live television while playing back from the
buffer. That means you will see greater CPU utilization during Time-shift mode because you are
simultaneously recording and playback the recorded video. At full DVD quality, time-shift can require up to a
1.7 GHz CPU or faster CPU.
