On my my SONY  BRAVIA KDL37EX723, the USB HDD is set up and records a  running program using the red button  okay and I can play this and other  recordings back via the Recorded  Titles menu okay.

But, despite much reading and trying I cannot fathom out how to pause Live TV. Tried every likely button on the remote  (obviously the ones on the top two rows but I think these are really for  AV playback) and checked the i-Manual but no joy. Also, there's no visible or menu  option I can see on the Programme Guide despite the explanation on the  i-Manual on how to record the currently selected upcoming program.

It would also be  nice to have a guide to each button on the remote but Sony don't seem to  supply that, just describing a few selected ones.

Does anyone know how to pause live TV and also set up a timed recording please?

Otherwise the TV is great and a very good picture.
