i have figured out how to use my dvr, and all the tricks about programing.

what i don't understand is how the dvr can record a program that has already played.

if i am half way through watching a program and press

record, the dvr records the program from the beginning.

how does the dvr record the part of the program that has already played?

If it's on the channel it has a certain amount of time in memory so you can rewind.

If you have been on that channel the whole time and just decided to start recording it, say, 20 minutes into the show, it will record from the very beginning.

If you flip to a show that's already been on for 20 minutes, then I don't know how it records from the beginning. I've never had my DVR do that.

Nothing on a DVR is truly "live" it's all buffered to disk. Even if you aren't recording the show, you can stil press pause. All you're doing is saving the buffer.

It's Conservative magic

why do you capitalize conservative and not magic, or for that matter your own name?

21% of those polled call themselves republican(small r).

how many of them would say they are conservatives?
