I'm guessing you have an HD Receiver connected to that TV, not an HD DVR.  Only DVRs can pause a trickplay Live TV because they have a hard drive.  Receivers connected to your DVR via Whole Home DVR sharing can only pause and trickplay when they're viewing recordings stored on the DVR.  They can't pause Live TV.
