Capture show from beginning

Just had a Genie 2 installed for 7 TV’s. With the old receiver, I could playback to the beginning even if it was not recorded. Now it seems it just starts from where it is whenever I turn on the tv with no way to “rewind” to the start. Why the change? Did I lose this option with the Genie 2?

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?

can the uverse dvr record short clips and not an entire show from the beginning

Is it possible to record short clips using the UVerse DVR?  So far, any attempt to record a short clip results in the DVR recording the entire program from the beginning of the program, even though the recording was initiated quite far into viewing the show.  The DISH DVR that I used before changing

Paused Show Starts Back at Beginning

Over the past couple of days when we pause a show recorded from the DVR, it goes right back to the beginning of the recording when we hit Play. I have pushed the reset button on the receiver and it kept happening.  Later I unplugged the receiver and it is still happening.
