Time-shift functionality
Arcade also has a time-shift function that can be enabled. To create an instant
replay, Arcade records the TV broadcast as a file, creating a slight lag between
the live broadcast and the TV content that you watch. (The instant replay file
cannot be saved, however, and you cannot watch this file in the Recorded TV
window.) You can navigate forward and backward within the file to create an
instant replay or to skip over commercials.
Note: One of your local drives must contain at least 2 GB of free
space in order to enable the instant replay function.
