Could someone kindly describe the sequence of events which permits the
'Pausing' of live TV by a HDD/DVD recorder. How complicated is the
sequence of commands needed to get this to happen ?

I assume the recorder must be in some sort of standby state, then has to
wake up, start recording, freeze the first recorded image and somehow
present this on the TV until told to start replaying the stream still
being recorded.

Is this about right and specifically how is the live broadcast on the TV
replaced by the first recorded and paused image ?

Regards
Tom
