Pretty sure the "We will be removing it as an option" was referring to the option of using internal storage. If you want to use TS you will eventually need some sort of external storage. This was not referring to the option of TS entirely.
Using Internal storage is also unnecessary wear and tear on the internal storage. External storage can easily be replaced if it eventually fails, internal you don't want to use for this kind of activity.
That's exactly what it was referring to, as clearly evidenced by the pasted quote from June in my post above you.

I didn't say you did...I was asking. Timeshift is on, and storage location is internal shared storage, which has 115GB free space
Using Internal Storage for timeshift is a bug on Android actually
It requires a lot of space to use it. 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.

Ok does this happen with timeshift on only?
Or without?
Sorry for the delay getting back to you...I'm in the process of packing to move.
It only seems to happen with TS on.

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.5.0.710

Worked like a charm. Thanks so much for your help!!
I think I may have spoken too soon...another issue has popped up. 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!

Ok re read what I wrote
Cause I edited itBasically if nothing is moved over, Android considers the Drive not ready to use
So it wont be available for any apps to access it.Worked like a charm. Thanks so much for your help!!

You need to move at least one file over first
Before you can use the storage for PVR
Otherwise re format it as External.Ok...I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Up to 2TB usually
We have had some users report using 8TB though.
With TimeShift though, 1GB-1.5GB per hour is usually how much space is needed. 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!

Will do. Is there a limit to the size of the external storage? Thanks for the info.

Are you telling me that if I don't attach a USB, this message will continue to show up?

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!

clarification
No he/she didn't. They said "...option to make sure that it’s the USB or SD card that is being used". They wrote nothing about the SD card being removed as an option.
