June 6, 20224 yr Every time I change stations using the BuzzTV 5 app I get this message : Timeshift error: not enough storage space on the default storage. I have the 128GB model, which has 115 GB free, so storage space shouldn't be an issue. What's up with this, and how do I make this warning go away? Thanks!
June 6, 20224 yr Author Are you telling me that if I don't attach a USB, this message will continue to show up?
June 6, 20224 yr I never said that. Since you said you had enough storage I assumed you had timeshift on. Do you?
June 6, 20224 yr Author I didn't say you did...I was asking. Timeshift is on, and storage location is internal shared storage, which has 115GB free space

We will be removing it as an option in a future update If you want to use Timeshift its best to use a USB or SD Card.

Thanks for the info.

With TimeShift though, 1GB-1.5GB per hour is usually how much space is needed. Depends on channel quality.

Depends on channel quality. Ok...I just plugged in a 2TB WD drive, formatted it, clicked "move later" when it asked about moving files to the new drive. I then went to PVR options to switch the destination, but the new drive is not listed as an option, though the box does recognize and list the drive when I go to the storage tab in the settings menu. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again!

June 6, 20224 yr Just now, Mark M said: Ok...I'll give that a shot. Thanks! Ok re read what I wrote Cause I edited it Basically if nothing is moved over, Android considers the Drive not ready to use So it wont be available for any apps to access it.

Watching live TV, the vid keeps skipping a fraction of a second, slowly at first, then the frequency seems to pick up the longer I'm watching. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks again!

What version # of the app are you using? You can see this by pressing the menu button when in Live TV And see the Version # on the bottom of the menu.
