    red = part of the show that is not covered by timeshift (from the moment on you switched to that channel)

    green = part of the show that is covered by timeshift (meaning you could rewind until the spot where red and green meet each other)

    white arrows = your actual position in timeline

    orange = the part of the show ahead from your current position that is covered by timeshift (meaning you can forward til the end of the orange bar which is the live position of the current tv program when you e.g. hit pause and resume afterwards)

    @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! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.
