[MaFiA]

Hey folks..just wondered if the Dreamlink has the ability to pause live TV?

Any other box in the FTA line do the pausing?

Its part of the PVR feature..
Seems most people use it to record and not to pause..LOL

Thanks for the replies guys..i know this would be off topic but is there any other receivers that would pause live TV other than a legit reciever

From what I've read most of the receivers are never as good as a legit. I currently have the Dreamlink HD and for me its a hit and miss when the PVR wants to work properly. I'm usually ok until I want to FF. Once I FF too fast it usually screws up my playback and I'll have to start over.

I have paused live TV before but again its usually fine until I FF and then it just screws it up completely and I have to go back to live TV.

Some people have had better luck with the PVR function over others. Also the USB drive that is used plays a part in how well the PVR function works.

Hope that helps!

What type of USB is prefered ? External or flash? The USBs specs help out somehow? Maybe speed wise? bump
