I cannot understand why the timeshift buffer has minimum 6 files and maximum 20 files.
My TV card has 2 tuners so why not 2 files.
T?here must be a good reason for the extra files but i cannot see it.

    It's actually one *set* of files per tuner i.e. it's effectively a single file per tuner segmented into smaller pieces (for various reasons).

    Basically the larger the 'minimum' size you set, the longer the 'look back' time is, and it will not grow larger than this if you are just playing live TV without pausing it.

    The 'maximum' size sets the size it can grow to when you pause live TV.

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.
