Hi,
I've tuned many TV channels however some go offline from time to time. When this happens, if I switch to that channel, MP freezes for about 2 minutes before producing a popup error along the lines - can't start time shifting or audio/video error.

Is there a setting somewhere that can be adjusted (shortened) so that the error only takes say 20 secs to appear

Many thanks

Seconded...

I also have this problem and haven't been able to find anything in the forum.

Particularly annoying with kids because all their channels go off air early evening, leading to a freeze when turning back on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Richard.

Sorry, found this which certainly helps (12 secs timeout for me):

What were the settings you used in the end to achieve a 12 sec timeout?

wait for unscrambled signal = ?
wait for timeshifting file = ?

I used the suggested settings, both set to 1.
