[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 801106, member: 111675"] Yes, many thanks for that Perls - that RAM Disk program seems exactly what I need. I shall give it whirl once my RAM arrives. I really am having trouble grasping how I am going to set up time shifting with a RAM Disk - at the moment I am time shifting to a 500GB laptop hard drive, thus space has never been an issue. According to the wiki: [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/08_Timeshifting]Timeshifting - MediaPortal Wiki[/url] It seems to be saying that if I have four tuners and 8GB of RAM Disk, I should make sure that the total file size for a single timeshifted file is no more than 2,048MB and that I should direct all tuner cards to the same RAM Disk folder. I think I am starting to understand now - maybe you can record multiple streams from a single TV card but only view live TV from a single tuner. If this is the case, you could technically have four clients watching TV simultaneously and given you had 8,192MB reserved for RAM Disk and you apportioned this into four maximum files sizes of 2,048MB, there would always be enough space for time shifting. Does that sort of make sense or am I started to get even more confused???:S Btw J, I am not familar with the quad Digital Devices card. I don't suppose you could send a link for one could you please - I am more than a little intrigued by such a beast? Thanks [/QUOTE]
