Here's a tip for pausing live tv if your box is connected to your PC via ethernet and you can record the stream.
Start recording the TV channel onto the PC hard disk, using whatever method you use - I use vlc with the following shortcut.
Create a shortcut with the following:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://192.168.x.xxx:31339/0,1045,0258,0259 :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,dst="C :\MYTV\myrecording.mpg"}}
substitute your own ip address and directories in the above if you've got vlc.
Start the recording. Then right click the file that is recording (myrecording,mpg) and open with vlc. You can now record the program and watch it at the same time, plus you can pause the viewing anytime to make that call of nature.
The above pid information (0,1045,0258,0259) is for BBC1. To watch other channels, the VPID and APID info is required which can be otained from stream info.
You could set up a series of shortcuts.
Happy viewing.
