[QUOTE="mnmr, post: 1065215, member: 86308"] I am going to take another swing at the timeshifting options in TvSetup ;) I have tried, but still fail to grasp what these settings do. I'd like to think that I'm not particularly stupid and I'm certainly fairly tech-savvy, which makes me think that these options are inexplicable to most end-users. Assumptions are always a bad idea, but I'd be surprised if it was not a long-term goal to make MediaPortal more end-user friendly. It also appears that the only option making any sense is the minimum, since only by increasing that can I modify the maximum recording time (I already set the file size to its max, and in fact wonder why there is a limit of only 1GB/file; of course, why I need to know MP saves stuff in multiple files is also beyond me). I have maxed all three settings: 100 minimum, 100 maximum and 1GB/file, but I'm not sure what the effect of that is (other than that I expect my pause functionality to work for at least half a day before it continues playback).
