Definition: live pause


A digital video recorder (DVR) function that freezes the picture on screen, while continuing to record the source material. Live pause lets you rewind and review a scene and either continue from that point or jump to the current frame being recorded. You can also bypass a commercial or other unwanted scenes, providing you have paused long enough to go beyond it. See DVR.
