[QUOTE="Neptuni, post: 152284, member: 51113"] Hello, I'm setting up a new server only running TVserver3 using a Nova-T-500 and an PVR-250, I have some questions regarding filesizes: Under settings for the recordings you have possibily to select either .ts or .mpg as the fileformat for recodings and timeshift, but what are actual recording/timeshift rates (Mbit/s) that are written to the disc? After some reading I have understood the the actual rates that are used here in Sweden for DVB-T .ts streams are 22 Mbit/s...but I'm only recoding one channel or? After I calculate a bit the rate would be appr 9.9 GB/h (22 Mbit/s) for DVB-T, but that isn't the rate thats used, so how do Mediaportal work? The PVR-250 seems to produce a rate of 4.76 Mbit/s for my .mpg recordings. I would like to have three simultanious recordings and two live-tv sessions, without any conflicts on the PCI-bus or discs. I planning to use one disc per/tuner and another two disc for timeshift, is this doable or is it overkill do you think? Another idea in this matter, is it still the setting in the Mediaportal configuration that is used when selecting the amount of time that are used for timeshifting? I can's seem to change the timeshift buffer as I would like to, I have set the buffer to 3 hours, but it will produce 6 files (14 min each) at 500 Mb each corresponding to appr. 90 min (2.8GB) discspace used.
