You also will receive Caller ID on Call Waiting which lets you know the name and number of the incoming call even while you’re on the line with someone else.

The following may be displayed in lieu of a name/number: P for Private appears when the calling party has restricted the presentation of their name; Call Blocked is displayed if the calling party has restricted the presentation of their number; and O for Out-of-Area is displayed if the calling name and/or number are unavailable for display.

Please note: You must have a Caller ID capable phone to use the Caller ID feature. Additionally, your phone must be capable of displaying Caller ID on Call Waiting if you wish to use that feature.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far back can I rewind live TV? The length of time you can rewind live TV depends on how long you have been tuned to a single channel. Each time you change channels, a new copy is automatically stored to the built-in recorder. This copy saves up to the last 1 hour of programming. For example, if you have been watching the same channel for 15 minutes, you can rewind that 15 minutes of the program.

Can I record the quarter screen in the Program Guide or the PVR Recorded List? Yes, you can record the quarter screen on all PVR screens by pressing Record. You can also record the quarter screen in the Program Guide. Press Exit to display the video in full screen, and then press Record. Note: Pressing Record while in the Program Guide will record the highlighted program in the grid.

Can I record or pause the video in the PIP screen? Yes, but you must swap it to the Main screen first. After pressing Record and confirming the re-cording, you can swap it back to the PIP screen and it will continue recording. You can also press PIP On/Off and the video will continue to record.

If I’ve been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the beginning to record the entire program? No, if you have been tuned to the program since its beginning, just press Record from any point in the program to record the entire program. Recording will automatically stop when the program ends.

How will I know the PVR is almost out of recording space? When you try to schedule the next recording, a warning appears on the Confirm Record-ing screen. Also, you can see what percentage of recording space you have used. Press List and then press for preferences.

Can you play back more than one recording? No, you cannot play back more than one recording at a time.

What happens if my PVR loses power temporarily? Everything you have recorded is saved, based on the save time you selected in the Confirm Record-ing screen. Your scheduled recordings during the time the PVR lost power are the only recordings you may miss.

Do my Parental Controls in the Program Guide carry over to PVR recordings? Yes. If you block programs by channel or rating in the General Settings menu, those settings are carried over to PVR recordings. For example, if you decide to block all R-rated programs in the General Settings menu, the R-rated programs will still be recorded, but you cannot play them back until you enter the correct PIN.

How do I block or erase individual recordings in my recorded list or change the save time for the recording? Highlight the recording on the Re-corded List screen, and press Select on the remote control. An Options screen appears for the program you selected.
