saving a paused 'live' show

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

The best thing to do would have you hit the record button instead of the
pause button. The Replay doesn't have a record from buffer capability.
I've never tried it, but I've read that some folks will run a cable from the
rca out to the rca in and then do a manual record for the length you want
recorded and then press play.

Yes it can. Use the 'rename show' menu option. I've used that a few
times, including for some things copied from VHS.
