pause live TV
Halt streaming playback
Pause live TV is a feature of digital video recorders and streaming devices that lets viewers stop a live broadcast and resume it later from the same point.
The technology continuously buffers incoming content, creating a temporary recording.
I paused live TV to answer the phone and picked up right where I left off.
