    Q1) Any reason to now Time-shift? I don't care about bandwidth use in particular, and I've plenty of HDD space.

    Q2) Is there a default amount of time that is "shifted", and is that configurable?

    Q3) If I change channels has the time shifted material been lost, or if I rewind do I simply rewind back into whatever was in the timeshift buffer?

    Q4) If I select "record" while in Timeshift does it add whatever was in the Timeshift buffer for that particularly selected broadcast/stream?

    TIA!

    1. Not that I can see. I know you don't care about bandwidth, but the device will continue to stream and timeshift if you are watching a recording.

    2. In my experience, I've seen max 2 hours, but no way to configure.

    3. When changing channels, the timeshift file is deleted and restarted. Good reason to use a real HDD and not a thumbdrive. You can see this file (_timeshift.ts_) if you turn on Samba and map a drive to the device.

    4. No, it starts a new file in the recordings folder.
