To pause a TV programme you need…

• a connected USB Hard Drive formatted on this TV
• digital TV channels installed on this TV
• to receive channel information for the on screen TV guide

With the USB Hard Drive connected and formatted, the TV continuously stores the TV broadcast you are watching. When you switch to another channel, the broadcast of the former channel is cleared. Also when you switch the TV to standby the broadcast is cleared.

You cannot use Pause TV when you are recording.
