Live Pause not working

UnlikelyPython-6B6651FC-A84B-40B7-929D-4378F5AB3B1 · Dec 19, 2014

Since today I am unable to pause live TV. Previously it has been working fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

Xbox Pause No Longer Works

Using the voice command "Xbox Pause" stopped working recently. It used to pause live TV, Netflix, Streaming Video, etc. and now it pauses nothing. I even tried pausing while watching a video on Xbox Movies and TV or whatever the app is called and that didn't
work either. It says "Cannot Pause Right Now" or something to that effect whenever I try.

One Guide

anyone not able to pause live TV on a Tivo? The oneguide works fine, and when I say 'xbox pause' the pause icon comes up so its recognising it, but it just isn't doing anything.

Can you try holding the power button for 10 seconds until it shuts down? That should solve the issue.

I'm having the same issue but it doesn't pause anything. Movies, TV, Netflix. It didn't even pause a movie I was renting from Microsoft using the video player or whatever it's called.

As this thread is well over a year and a half old could you please create a new one detailing your issue exactly.

In the meantime you could try the steps listed above to resolve the issue.

Were you able to pause, record, rewind, or fast forward live Tv with your box? I had to switch to cable from Directv that was a usable dvr and worked on the xbox 1 side too. Thinking I had a usable dvr with xbox 1 I got the Xfinity RGN150N model that's
not working a dvr thinking I would pause or record live tv with. Wrong and failure with MS! Why promote this as a dvr when it is not! The guide works getting the right model number entered but does not work with pausing tv.

As for working with recorded shows, no. It only works with Live tv. You can pause, play, rewind, fast forward with live tv just as you do now with the remote, but to access your recording and On Demand, you still need to use the remote.
