How much diskspace does the DVB-recordings require per hour?

Is the timeshift-buffer stored in the regular recordings-path?? Is the timeshift-buffer deleted when not in use??

DVB takes around 1Gb for 45minutes. Rough estimate from memory.
Timeshift is stored in the recordings folder (in a sub folder). When not in use the buffer is deleted.

@CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help!
