not quite true , it can rewind live tv but only if you have initiated a recording in some way first
ie:- if it is recording you can rewind live tv , but it does not auto buffer and so you cannot always rewind live tv especially when you have not started a recording , but once a recording is ongoing it can rewind on that recording which gives you an effective method of rewinding live tv , and I have used this function on several occasions
the actual missing function is actually a 1 hour auto-buffer in the menu which would allow you to rewind live tv at any time
remember that a recorder can be off and doing nothing at all whilst in standby , whereas a pvr tends to be on all the time and so can auto buffer the currently chosen channel by a preset function in the menu
