Stupid question on Pausing live TV

[jdr01930]

When you pause a live broadcast, is there any way to toggle off that little status bar thing that takes up the bottom quarter of the screen?

Sometimes when I pause to get a better look at something it gets in the way.

This is for a 622 and/or 522.

Yes, just press "skip back" or "skip forward".

What? The status bar only pops up when you're FF or REW, not when it's simply paused. Pausing just pops up the timer on the right of the screen...

What box are you using?

Thanks Ilya!
I didn't realize those buttons worked more on a frame like level when you were paused!

Purogramer - I've got a 622 and a 522 as mentioned in the first post. Mostly was asking in regards to the 622, which I just tried Ilya's suggestion on and it does the trick (close enough anyway!)

It also comes up on the 942 and the trick mentioned above works like a charm.

Also if you want to get rid of the little arrow on the screen after you "skip" to get rid of the bar: wait for it to disappear then hit cancel twice and then you will have nothing on the screen except the paused program image.
