Remarks

The pause buffer for TV or FM radio is up to 30 minutes long, starting from the time the user tunes in. If you specify a value for this property, the new value sets the playback position to a particular point in the buffer. You can set the position to any time that is later than the time the user tuned in the current channel, up to the current time. Setting the position to a time that occurred before the user tuned in the current channel moves the playback position to the beginning of the buffer. Setting the position to a time that is later than the current time returns Windows Media Center to live playback.
