It's been 4 years after the initial posting and this feature still has not been put back. Surely with all the cloud technology this would have been solved by now. Clearly it is not on the Shaw To Do list. Disappointing...we just switched from Gateway boxes, which had their share of problems, but it was a great feature.
Just got blue curve today and thinking of checking out Bell because of luang this feature
Sorry typo! " Losing" we also lost the different fast forward buttons! We will be leaving Shaw and we have been customers for 40 years! I'll try calling Shaw tomorrow to see if there is any way these will be added! If not, adios!
@Pkcurtis1 This feature won’t make a comeback, you should check with the other providers to ensure they have it as well, before switching.
On the BlueCurve, just press "record" on the channel you are watching, before flipping to the other channel, and press "record" again. Then, when you flip back to the first channel, you can "rewind" the recording, and when you flip to the second channel, you can "rewind" that channel, too.
Sure, that is a workaround, but most people won't remember to do that. There should be a buffer on x number of recent channels just like there was on Gateway. You can't even switch between players and continue where you left off. These should be standard PVR functions.
