Do you have SP2 installed, plus all the patches and updates listed in "Tips & Tricks", and all the Windows Updates?

Norton_BSA,

With PID I presume it's the PID combo box mentioned in the Capture Cards section (first tab). This Tab is found when you edit your Capture Card (startup Configuration Media Portal\ Telivision\Capture Cards\Your TV Card\Edit. The first tab page that opens mentiones the PID. It's for enhancing picture quality. BTW: if you enable it, you won't find your digital channels... or at least: far less than usual!!

As for the Timeshifting problem... and this is perhaps a lame question: have you changed the location where you're recording your tv? Default location is your profile, and very often the profile is subject to quota or other (security) precautions which leaves MP unable to write anything...
