Just to be clear:
TVE3 = TVServer
(That seems to lead to som confusion. I believe the team agreed to use TVServer, and not TVE3. Old TV engine is still called TVE2, or "the built in TV engine#).
IIRC you should be able to disable TSwith TVE2.

Could someone please explain why this is so?
In 99.9% of all LiveTV watching I never use the TimeShift feature. When I do need it I can always press a button to enable it.
Always-on timeshifting wears your harddisk and I recon it produces a small overhead to channel change too (in theory at least)
Shouldn't there at least be an option to disable always-on timeshifting?
I don't know why you can't turn TS off, but regarding the HD wear: I was concerned about that too. So I bought 2 GB additional RAM and installed the free ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver as 1 GB Ramdisk. TS files are now written to ram. Works perfectly.
I thought about using a RAM disk, but a couple of gigabytes wont last long with a handfull of HD tuners.
Has anyone tried using flash ram (USB, SD etc.)? Even 16Gb modules are awfully cheap, but I'm not sure they're fast enough or if continuous read/write will destroy it?
Any answer to the question why you can't turn off timeshifting? Is it possible to implement that? I'm fine with the default being on if you like, but at least give me the option to turn it off!
It can't be turned off. And as far as I am aware it is not easy to implement. It really wit affect the HD too badly. I had a spare laptop HD and just use that for timeshifting.
Well I could turn it off in TVE2 so it can't be impossible! And it does affect performance, it slows everything down a bit, at least it did when I turned it on in TVE2. I'm not worried about the HD.

It's working after some hours search: the Auto3D plugin which I haven't used for years was corrupting the start of the TV live stream from server to MP.
If anyone has a similar problem - disable all old plugins and then enable one after another :-)

As the TVEngine is same, is it not possible to take over some MP1 code pieces here or is it fully player dependent?
So far not, this could be achieved. But at first the infos need to be existing.

Good luck, I am really not too sure how well CAM and MP work together with any tuner.
Just a thought would it not be cheaper to just buy another C1+ card then there would be no need to prioritise the tuners?

If you use the search facility of this web site and search for "all cards busy", you will find numerous threads relating to this problem (so there is probably more than one cause).
