Nope. Well mostly nope.

If you are recording a programme that you are also watching (box turned on and tuned in) then you can use the live buffer (separate to the recording in effect) to rewind and chase. Your playback is interrupted when the recording stops (regardless of where you are in the watching).

But if it's just been timer recording (not "on" and on the same channel) then you have to wait until it's finished.

At the risk of repeating myself....

If the USB connection and hard drive size aren't important*, you should instead consider the DigiFusion FVRT200 which does chase play on timer recordings - easily and uninterrupted.

* and digital output - but since Freeview is all 2 channel anyway this is of little importance; the analog stereo out is more than adequate and using the RCA phono jacks allows you to fix the fact that stereo is L/R reversed.
