  • Hi, first post of a Formuler Z8 users here.
    Have had the Z8 now for a couple of months and are really impressed with the unit (and the active development of MOL2!

    I am running the latest firmware and are using my NAS as timeshift and recording storage. (had a USB 3.0 SSD before)

    By default (if you have timeshift enabled) the Z8 is recording constantly. (creating a lot of traffic, both if you are connected to USB or NAS)

    Would it be difficult to implement an extra option that you can choose the behaviour of Timeshift? So that it will only start recording when you click on the pause button?


    Keep up the good work!

    Unfortunately not, because it is normal behaviour for timeshift to start automatically after each channel change to record. You can find some older 4GB stick and set it for Timeshift and NAS only for recording if you have worry s about your hdd`s inside of NAS. Btw, the point of creating a lot of traffic, this is in time of streaming normal and with same config. do the cable or sat. stbs, the same.
