pause failure

For the last hour or so my V+ would only pause a film for up to 28 minutes 10 seconds - once it had reached that duration it would not pause or reverse. Has anyone experienced this? Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Re: pause failure

Yeah the delay TV only goes up to half an hour tops. I paused a film last night and it automatically started playing after 29 minutes. It is meant to do that but is a pain if you want to pause it for longer, but the way round that is to just hit record instead of pausing it

Re: pause failure

I'm sure I've been able to pause things for over an hour in the past, is this a recent change or am I imagining it?

As far as I'm aware you've never been able to pause live TV for more than 30 minutes without recording it. Not sure though

Re: pause failure

If you have a SA V+, the live TV buffer is a fixed size, so the time you can pause depends on the bit rate. You'll get around 90 minutes on an SD programme, but a little as 20 on HD.

The Samsung V+ buffers around 90 minutes regardless of bit rate, provided you've got enough free space on the hard drive.
