Zap changes to the channel when the programme starts like reminder
Timeshift is indeed pause Rewind ff etc, you need to format your hdd or usb to ext4, done from receiver
Will start from standby to record
You need two feeds into your receiver to record and watch something
else, you can use a usb tuner to do this
not sure about the other question dude

Get this report when formatting hard drive from ext3 to ext 4
Error filesystem 9 and not swap or ufs or something else )then the superblock is corrupt , and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
e2fsck-b8193 <device>

Any ideas please

Wow not seen that before, judge or Phoenix will hopefully know how to answer this one further.

Can you attach the drive to a PC & format it there first?

Do you have a hard disk fitted to the box? Or are you using a usb stick?

I would initialize the disk or stick first Menu>setup>system>storage device>initialisation Select the correct disk the press red.

Format the drive to fat 32 first with a PC, I had this with a usb3 bus powered drive that was ntfs

Hi,
timeshift will not work with FAT32 or NTFS.
