If not, can you leave it on record constantly and get it to delete the data after x hours?
Not in the sense you mean. You can pause live TV when what it does is to start recording from the point you pause, but you have to have been recording the program if you want to rewind to an earlier part of the program.

I often use one of my DVD recorders in this way, so I don't have to watch the adverts!
