    Is this something that we might see soon? I get that timeshifting content that's 4k is probably beyond the capabilities of the hardware, but most of the IPTV content is 1080p or less anyway. Could the system be coded to allow for timeshifting based on the resolution of the content rather than the resolution of the connected TV?

    Asking because I get a much smoother experience when I have the resolution set to 4k. It's still lower resolution content so the picture isn't any different, but in any of the sub-4k resolutions I get occasional stutter in picture, especially when the camera pans horizontally. I don't know if it's my TV or the Z7+ tho. I've tried the various refresh rates and it doesn't seem to make a difference, but in 4k the problem disappears.

    Anyway, I hate having to choose between timeshifting and a good viewing experience.

    There are some low-level driver limitations that prevent the use of Local PVR/Timeshift when output resolution is set to 4K.

    We're aware of the issue and the engineers are looking into hacking together a workaround, but it is unknown how long it will take yet.

    I have a 4k tv with a z7+ box, while watching sport i see it stuttering while the ball is moving, i`m guessing this is due the the upscalling,
