Hi There,

Thank you so much for your feedback and I’m sorry you didn’t have a great experience with your Element Xumo TV. For pause, rewind, or recording actions, that is a functionality of the app or service that you are using to stream your content. From apps like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV that have live TV, there would be an option within the app to record live TV within the app itself. For traditional Cable or Satellite, the pause, rewind, and recording functions would be accessible through your cable or satellite remote and the set top box you were provided.

I hope this answers your question, but please do not hesitate to contact Xumo Support at https://www.xumo.com/support/overview if you have additional questions.
