Rewinding to beginning of program

Upgraded to new genie

on my old system I could rewind about an hour on whatever channel the tuner had been left on (in other words, I could go to the beginning of a show or the end of the last one)

does not seem to be doing this on the genie

solutions?

It is still buffering the channels but the minis take a tuner when turned on with that buffer so the only way to watch the buffer is to leave the receiver on and on the channel to prevent the mini from taking it.

As a note, in case you got an agent not properly informed, the regular Genie line (HR34, HR44, HR54) does support regular HDDVRs (or HD non-DVRs) on your other TVs. That way you have tuners, recording space, and each with their own in-progress buffer to spread around. Just needs to be model HR20 thru HR24 (or special R22), or model H21 thru H25.


It is only the Genie-2 (HS17) that only allows Clients, forbidding everything else. This is the only system that restricts you from full flexibility on your TVs.
