Delay TV will work from the time you switched to that channel. If you switched to the channel 35 minutes ago, you can rewind 35 minutes. If you press record it will only record (as in, kept to watch later) from that point onwards.

As mentioned the buffer is 90 minutes but I think this is only for SD channels - remember the bandwidth for an HD channel is much higher. Although I haven't tried it I would be surprised to find this goes down to 20 minutes or so fo an HD channel.

I suspect that you won't be able to record a delay-tv feed though as this the stream will be coming from the harddrive at that point rather than from the tuner. Would be quite cool if you could though!
