[QUOTE="LosWochos, post: 556708, member: 101015"] Hi folks, I'm pretty new to MediaPortal since I just put a Technisat CableStar DVB-C Card into my PC and installed this great piece of software. My problem is that I'm not able to record *and* watch a TV program at the same time - and I'm talking about the same channel here - even though it seem's to me that the TV server is in fact able to do timeshifting and recording at the same time: [LIST] [*] When I open the manual control in the TV Server configuration and choose a channel than I can start timeshifting with the button and it prints the path of the timeshift buffer file as you can see in the first screenshot. [*] Subsequently I start recording with the right button and I get two file names printed, the one of the timeshift buffer and the one of the recording file [/LIST] Now when I try the same with the MediaPortal client software and no previous recording and/or timeshifting on the TV server active I get the following issues: [LIST] [*] When TV is switched on in the client software it's impossible to start recording manually ("Record now"). Pressing this button only creates a scheduled recording which starts immediately in the moment I turn of the TV in the client [*] During a recording a click on the "TV on" button results in the following error message: "Unable to start timeshifting. Unknown error" [/LIST] Is it not possible to do timeshifting and/or viewing a channel while recording the same channel with a single card? Thanks in advance for your help! Stefan [/QUOTE]
