After having lot of issues getting TV3 working on Vista x64, (tried 10-15 builds) I finally gave up and reverted back to 0.2.3.0.
(Could not get the TV server to scan any channels, whereas the old engine works fine).
One of the things I was looking forward to, in TV3 was to use a separate folder for timeshifting - in my case a 4GB Ramdrive. Recordings should still be on my regular hard drive. As you know, there is no such option in 0.2.3.0.....
After some trial and error I found out the junctions points feature in Vista can solve this, and for those interested here is how:
1) Create a Ramdisk of your choice. I used Qsoft RamDrive Enterprise (not freeware, but at $12 it's a steal). I could not get the freeware one's to work properly on x64.
2) Bring up the command line (as admin) and use:
mklink /J path configured in Setup/Card1/TempBSE Ramdrive_volume
in my case with the default settings (and my RamDrive as B:.)
mklink /J c:\users\admin\documents\My recordings\card1\TempSBE B:
Done.
You now have created a directory junction making MP think it's creating timeshifting files in the cardX\TempSBE-folder while in reality they are stored on the RamDrive. Say goodbye to hard disk activity when timeshifting
