Thanks for your suggestion. There’s already an existing suggestion thread discussing that exact option. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate. > [@Live TV recording & viewing resume playback](https://forums.plex.tv/t/live-tv-recording-viewing-resume-playback/284146): > > When watching a live recording programme, once you move away from that channel and then come back the only viewing options you have are start from beginning or live TV, we also need a resume where you left off option. This will become more and more important as more clients get the grid guide. # There’s another related suggestion focusing on an option to configure how much of a live tv / DVR session will be buffered (duration of playback). > [@Live TV Pause/Buffer Length](https://forums.plex.tv/t/live-tv-pause-buffer-length/703035): > > As suggested in the below post - I am requesting a user setting for custom pause buffer length for live TV. The program currently only allows for 10 min pause before terminating the stream. I would like to see user setting similar to WMC and other DVRs that allows a more reasonable 2 or 3 hours. Please see this post for details. Thanks! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/resume-button-for-livetv/854229)._
