This would in fact be a nice feature. FYI: You can do this manually by now if it is really urgent.

I would like to see this option.
Timeshifting takes details from the EPG and the resultant single file respects the EPG info; naming etc. pre/post padding. details are added to the database as if it is a scheduled recorded file.
A tsbuffer file still carries the details required for client acceess/streaming.
New .ts files are produced with respect to the EPG (padding applied if set by the user) and not as now with the equal size rolling buffers.
A time to save setting could be used to auto delete files after a preset time/hour/days.

I would like this feature too. Sometimes I watch a show or report and while watching I think it would be interesting for someone else. When I decide to record it, it olud be nice to be able to record the full show.

Isn't this because of the client server thing in TVE3? In TVE2 the recording engine has access to the timeshifting buffer since it is always on the same machine as the recording. In TVE3 though, the buffer is on the client while the recording is done on the server. Because of this the server cannot record in the past... At least this is my interpretation. Having said this I would really like to have this feature back as well, I liked it a lot. The question is how to implement it!
Edit: Thinking about it another time, I'm acutally not sure about this. Perhaps the buffer is on the server anyway? Anyone that knows this?

SageTV has a different take on the timeshift buffer which makes this feature really simple to implement. Perhaps it could also be considered for MediaPortal.
Instead of having all timeshifting saved to a single file (i.e. live1-0.ts.tsbuffer1.ts) each show gets it's own timeshift file (i.e. Program name.ts). These files are automatically removed x minutes after the end of the show. To implement this feature the TV Server would simply not remove the file if the user pressed Record.

Seeking within a program after changing channels does not work while watching live TV

@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!

I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that.
MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

If it's an apartment block, it's quite likely that the LNB is something exotic that handles Sky and others. Try a different LNB frequency (and possibly the low and high frequency settings. I know little of such things, but apparently Sky is often 10750. Give it a try. Freeview is horizontally polarised.
