In section 2 of the manual for the TV Drive, it says if you press pause to pause live TV, you can then press Record to record the paused program to the TV Drive.

This doesn't work, it just says that it's not possible to record in Delay TV mode.

Is there any way to do this. My wife asked this question in the following circumstance. If she was watching Coronation Street, and the phone went, she could pause the program. BUT Eastenders will then be on as soon as Coronation Street has finished. So how would she get around this? Coronation Street is paused so by the time that's finished after she presses Play, the other program would have started. While Coronation Street is paused (or even playing in Delay mode), she cannot press Record to record CS onto the TV Drive. She also can't get into the TV Drive menu to set Eastenders to record.

I couldn't care less about the soaps myself, but am interested in the principle of this. Is there a way to do this? Otherwise, Pause TV loses some of it's usefulness if it's just going to make you miss other things.

Hope that makes sense. I described it as best I could.

Thanks.
