Xbox – Can Xbox One pause live TV without a DVR box

xbox-one

I plan on connecting a TV tuner using HDMI to the Xbox One so I can watch over-the-air broadcasts with OneGuide. Will this allow pausing and rewinding of live TV? I think it's possible because the Xbox has a hard drive, but I can't find any clear documentation of this.

To clarify: I'm talking about a simple tuner, not a DVR. Example: Mediasonic HomeWorX HW150PVR

You cannot pause live TV without a DVR or other input that doesn't have the ability to pause live TV. I used to have it set up this way with a cablebox that did not have DVR enabled and I could not pause (fast forward, or rewind). The commands that the OneGuide uses, pass this off to the input device. If the input device doesn't understand this command, it cannot process it.
