Pausing live tv

Having trouble pausing live tv for more than 5 minutes with my TV360 box.

Pretty sure I was able to pause the TiVo and V6 for around an hour?

Am I doing something wrong?

    No you're doing nothing wrong,  it's part of the 360 downgrade.

    Ok - thanks. So you basically have to record any live program you might want to pause.

    To be honest if I knew just how poor the TV360 was compared to V6 I never would have bothered taking the free "upgrade".

  • Which 360 box are you having problems with, a 360 main box or a 360 mini box, main box is on the left and mini box on the right. You should probably be able to pause for 3 hours on the main box (although I haven't tried), because you can rewind live TV back that far or further.

    The mini box doesn't have a hard so can only buffer for a few minutes, depending on the format SD, HD or UHD determines the time it will buffer, to pause for longer you need to press record so it uses the 360 main box hard drive and then watch as a recording.
