Live Pause on XRAI TV

Pause and rewind the programme while captions are on, then catch up or go back to live.

Updated 17 October 2026

While captions are on, XRAI TV records the programme, so you can pause it, go back to something you missed, and catch up. The captions follow the picture.

The bottom of a paused TV programme, with the Live Pause timeline showing the picture paused 12 seconds behind live.
ButtonWhile captions are on
Play/PausePause the picture, or play it again from where you paused it.
RewindGo back 10 seconds.
Fast-forwardGo forward 10 seconds. Reaching the live picture takes you back to live.
Previous trackGo to the start of the recording.
Next trackGo back to the live picture.

The timeline at the bottom of the screen shows how far behind live the picture is. It hides itself a few seconds after you go back to live, and Back hides it straight away.

The recording starts when captions start. How far back you can go depends on the free space in the box, and a USB memory stick plugged into the box gives it more room.
