I’ve disabled this “feature” a few times but it turns itself back on after some time. Has anyone else experienced that? I can’t see how it is useful to anyone. Does anyone really want to record everything in prime time every day?

I’ve never turned it off. The recordings go away on their own after 8 days anyway unless you intentionally save them. They take up very little room on the internal hard drive and only take one tuner to record.

I can’t see how they don’t eat bandwidth. Why do they take less space than other shows? Are they mega compressed or something?

I couldn’t do more than two things at a time on my old box with two tuner, so how do they record multiple shows with one tuner?

I’d rather keep utilization on the box as low as possible since it seems to struggle with basics like rewinding on the DVR.

PTAT is an awesome feature. It saves me from having to set additional timers. Just don't open the folder if you don't care for it.

Well that’s cool that you like it, but I don’t watch anything in prime time and have no need of recording anything in that time period, especially on local channels. Like I said, I’d rather tax the box as little as possible so that it can do what I want it do.

Well take a downgrade to the lesser Hopper so you won't have to worry yourself about taxing tt.

I’m not going to bother with that, I’ll just deal with it. Just thought I’d ask.
