Continuous Timeshift when TV recording

VidarParry · 2008-03-04, 10:10

Hi all,
Whenever I set up a scheduled recording, MyTV goes into timeshift mode when the recording starts.

The problem is that when the recording finishes, timeshift continues adfinitum. This keeps the disc accesses running unnecessarily (because I'm usually asleep!!).

Is this the way it is meant to work, or can MP be configured to stop timeshifting when the recording finishes? Actually, I don't know why the timeshift starts in the first place, so maybe that's the issue?

Thanks guys

Cheers
...Steve

With the internal MyTV Engine this is how it works.

TVE3 does not do this.

If you are really worried about it ,set in powerscheduler to shutdown after 90 mins inactivity in any screen, or less, just being generous on the letting you finish what you may have been doing in MP.
