• A VOD title can be paused for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes, and the title can be found and resumed from the Saved Shows folder unless the VOD viewing window expires

• IPVOD is a Video On Demand Menu system that is faster, more user friendly, and more image oriented than its predecessor. It is available on 6 Tuner TiVos and the Minis associated with them
