I think having 2 threads isn't helping matters.
Have just tried a bit more experimentation, I plugged a 128gb usb/hdd into rear usb port this I had formatted on my pc to ext3. Went into setup/vix/mount-manager and mounted as usb, went to timeshift settings and set location for timeshift as the usb drive I had just mounted, checked information/devices and exactly 120gb free. Then I tried pause of live tv on hd channel and left it for 15 minutes before checking information/devices which stated 650mb had been used 119.35 gb free. Went back to tv and switched channels then back to information/devices and free space now shown as 120gb. Next tried timeshift on hd channel for approx same period of time and again around 650mb of space had been used, then disabled timeshift followed by channel change and return to information/devices to find disk space had again returned to 120gb. None of the unusual issues of disappearing hdd space were present, apart from location ie external usb rather than internal hdd the only difference in set up is my internal hdd is ext4 compared to the ext3 format I just tried. Is it the type of filesystem used causing issues
Sorry to hear that. I was able to spend a little bit of time yesterday to try to understand the wonders of Service searching and AutoBouquet makers for our machine.
I have written down what I thought even I could understand, when I can't remember in a couple of weeks , at
http://www.techkings.org/threads/is-...-3#post-682404

I might have misunderstood what you are saying, but I have already tried pointing timeshift to a USB stick a couple of days ago. Like you what I found was the freespace in the usb stick behaved normally as expected, and the timeshift files in the stick looked perfectly normal also. However, the space loss issue remains, at the internal hdd.
I think what happens, is as long as you have an internal hdd, the system would still use the hdd as workspace, irrespective where the timeshift directory is, and it is the release of the invisible workspace after use, not the timeshift files, that is buggy, and is causing the hdd space loss.
Cheers!
Odd that the vast majority of people are not seeing this problem, just a handful.
Conversely it would be great if we can find even a single machine not suffering these problem when properly tested, because we can then try the image, and identify what the difference might be.
Unfortunately, while some posters indicated in earlier posts that their machines were fine, they actually aren't, when tested and measured.
There are now actually 3 threads, two are here as you say - I am sorry if I shouldn't have started the Vix Support thread this morning - I thought it is the proper way to get official support?
Cheers!

I have just done that. The hdd used and free space correspond with what is shown in OpenWebIf.
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
ubi0:rootfs 434.9M 71.2M 363.7M 16% /
devtmpfs 277.5M 4.0K 277.5M 0% /dev

/dev/sda1 931.3G 60.5G 869.8G 7% /media/hdd
The sizes found also correspond with what I have reported in the Support thread here (taken from Setup / Information / Devices page's figures), if one accounts for the binary to base 10 conversion, i.e. 1TB expressed as 931.3g.
