First off you need the factory service remote, Part# AA81-00243A, REMOCON ASSY,TM930 SERVICE. You can get one for a little over $15.00 from
http://www.samsungcanadaparts.com/product/inv_9416241. The price seems to have gone up since I got mine, and posted here, so it seems that demand has driven up the price a few dollars. Next, you need to read the factory service manual, which tells you how to use the remote and in what menu the PVR setting is in. Once you have the factory options open, just change PVR "off" to "on". You can read a copy of the Service Manual I have given to Samygo here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/samygo/ ... F/download. See below for a picture of the SM with the PVR option highlighted.
Just remember that your picture settings will change. Write them down before you start, because they will re-set to default. Also note that to use the PVR/timeshift functions you must have a USB HDD plugged in. A thumb, flash, or whatever you chose to call it will work for a bit, but it will fail, as a HDD is really required. I hooked up a Samsung S2 HDD;

Once you have your drive plugged into you USB port, the TV will ask to format it. The format will make the drive unreadable to anything else you plug it into, so make sure you are using one that you only plan to use with the TV. Any recorded TV shows are only able to be played on your TV only, and if in the future you main board was replaced, you would also not have access to the files. This is part of Samsung' DRM (digital rights management) for copyright protection.
Here is some more info on using the built in PVR:
The recommended storage device is a USB HDD (Hard Disk Drive), Both AC powered and USB power HDD. USB HDD (Hard Disk Drive) operate between 5400rpm (USB powered) - 7200rpm (AC powered), this means that they have a higher constant read and write, this is essential for the recording function, USB memory sticks on the other hand fluctuate greatly in their reading and writing capabilities, this makes them unreliable when it comes to purchasing a USB storage device for the TV's recoding function.
1. When you watch a broadcast programme, select the right arrow using your remote to start the Timeshift function.
2. If you want to stop the Timeshift function, select the square button on your remote.
* The Timeshift mode operates for a maximum of 90 minutes.
* The Timeshift function is not supported for analogue channels.
* The Timeshift function is disabled for channels locked with Channel Lock
Best of luck.
