HD PVR Pause and Rewind

[W.Salie]

I bought me an HD PVR Decoders last week at makro for R799. I have a normal single LNB and on the compact package. So I basically setup the HD PVR and put on the TV, then I called DStv to give them my new serial code ect and they switched me over. So I tried to test the pause and rewind function and nothings happening... I was under the impression that this function with comes with the PVR. So I spoke to a few people thus far and some people are telling me to get the Multi switch and others are telling me to get the twin LNB. I jut want to be able to pause and rewind live tv, I'm not really interested in the recording function at this point. Does anyone know what I should get in order to pause and rewind? I am leaning towards the Twin LNB but i am not sure and I need your guys help

Setup: So I currently have a single LNB with a single areal cable going into the HD PVR

I would recommend a Twin LNB.

You have to pay R70 extra (thanks MC) to enable the recording function, not sure if this applies to RW/FF/Pause.

You need to record to pause/rewind. You cannot pause and rewind the actual broadcast. You are pausing and rewinding a recording on the PVR. Get the twin LNB. It is not expensive...

Thanks guys. So then its just the twin LNB I require. Cool

But then enable PVR functions, the twin LNB is useless if you don't

How do I do that?

How do I do that?

Edit: That came out wrong

You need to phone mulitchoice to activate it - costs a bit extra but it really is convenient
