Ultimate PVR with HD Digital Jukebox   41 Introduction  1.1  TViX PVR Function     The TVIX PVR can play HDTV without a digital TV set-top box with excellent and super-clear display on HDTV screens. The TViX PVR supports standard DTV features, such as EPG and Time-shifting.      Time shifting is the recording of programming to a storage medium to be viewed or listened to at a time more convenient to the consumer. Being interrupted while watching live TV programs (such as pick up phone calls & answer the door), all you need to do is simply press the OK button to freeze the picture for a period of time and then later press OK again to pick up right where you left off. The Time-shifting maintains the scene when you change the channel. Note:  You cannot use the DTV time-shifting on FAT32 partitions, so we recommend that you format your 2.5” SATA HDD to NTFS.     The TViX PVR has various recording features, including direct recording, scheduled recording, and repeated manual recording, to enable the user not to miss a single program of digital TV. It's a completely different type of PVR since you can easily upgrade and expand the HDD capacity yourself, similar to PC upgrading. And you can back up the recorded file to/from the PC. Also, it can capture external analog video as well as analog TV signals.     The TViX PVR implements DTV features such as EPG-scheduled recording and PC-connectivity to let the user enjoy all the fruits of digital broadcasting as well as supreme audio and video qualities. You can set up scheduled recording and scheduled watch using the EPG window. Note:  The EPG is not supported in analog TV or external input (A/V-in) modes.     When using the DTV mode, you can easily configure the sleep time with the FUNCTION key.   If the sleep time is reached when a recording is in progress, the TViX will shut down after finishing the recording. In the file list mode, the FUNCTION key performs the File copy/delete and password functions.   DVICO Inc has no responsibility for recorded programs or files made or distributed for purposes of illegal, commercial, or transactional activities. The party or parties who record or distribute the contents bear all responsibility (Civil or Criminal) direct or indirect.
