about iQ3, starting with the
ability to pause and rewind live
television when life inevitably gets
in the way of your viewing habits.
Arrived home late from work only to
find you’ve forgotten to record your
favourite show and the episode is
halfway through? Fret no more, as the

function has you covered.In the TV Guide, look for the arrow
symbol on programs where Start Over
is available and press play. With iQ
you also have the ability to record
up to three shows at the same time
while watching a fourth live, making

recording space of iQ2, which is
the equivalent of a whopping 345
~standard definition shows.
