It records continuously to a buffer.  You can play anything currently in
that buffer.  Rewinding just means playing an earlier part of the buffer;
pausing means letting the recording get ahead of the playback.  MythTV
will tell you how far you are behind live TV and how much of the buffer is
full.

The buffer size dictates how far you can rewind and how long you can leave
your live TV paused.

Are there no online TV guides at all, or just no XMLTV module for South
Africa?

Two reminders worth noting: please don't start a new thread by replying to
