Turning cec off did not help. Thanks for the info. TK

Catch up or no catch up still no TS. On another item, is there a way to force the X5 to remain power on? I use a Harmony remote. I programmed the remote to not even have the X5 as a "device", still when I power down with the Harmony it powers down the X5. Even my LG TV remote will power down the X5 when I power down the TV. I tried disabling the blue tooth on the X5 remote, no difference. Does the "Powerkey definition" have any efect?

The problem I see with "catch up" is that you can't pick a starting point. I mean you have to go to the beginning of a "catch up" show(TV).

I didn't mean to step on any toes about IPTV, sorry about that!!! Both of my services have "catch up".

I thought I would try recording a show(TV) that I was watching and seeing if I could, pause or go back. As soon as I tried that the recording stopped. So it seems that TS is the only way to accomplish this. TK

Interestingly , nether one of my two play lists offer the option of TS. If some one would PM me with the name of a play list provider that works for them for TS, I would appreciate it ; Maybe that provider may offer a free trial. I just want to see this TS in operation. Just to see if it is worth the extra list. Terry K

"nbs" this is the only guide I have seen X5 guide - Copy.pdf

What you have to look for on your "live channel" is a "TS" icon. If it's not there, your Play list will not support Timeshift. It's just that simple, now!

Thanks "RYU" for the response. Lets talk about support for a moment. I just got a call from "Mike". He got me headed in the right direction instantly!!!! Great support and a good guy to talk with. He was able to talk to me on my level, quite an attribute. It appears that not all streams of IPTV are equal. Some will support the X5 Timeshift, some won't. The stream I'm using right now doesn't. I will be trying my other one later. I imagine , if my other play list is compatible , then the You Tube thing will make more sense. So there, now I/we will be getting some ware on my quest to get my X5 box running on all cylinders!!! Terry K

Has anyone tried to follow the YouTube video on how to use Timeshift with an X5 box? I hope you have had luck with it. I can't get any thing to work.

So, if I am understanding this correctly , pausing live TV is actually doing a Time shift. In PVR options, what is the difference between Timeshift (on/off) and Force USB TS (on/off)?

I use two play lists right now. One with my X5, the other with my TiviMate app. With some help from Dan The FS man, I am able to use all the functions of my TiviMate; I must say I got a few tidbits from Troy as well. As far as "videos on this site applying to every model", which is fine, I am interested in the X5 only. If some one could direct me to the X5 video on how to pause live TV, or better yet just tell me, I think that would be a start. And I'll bet I'm not the only one who would benefit from this. Terry K

The reason I am asking questions about my X5 is because I have no common knowledge about a lot of this stuff. I simply want to know how to use my X5 box. I believe simple questions should have simple answers.

This is what I know(not much so far). The Blue USB port is 3.0. Nice to know. It wasn't mentioned any where in the "guide" that came with the X5. I had to ask . I am using a Seagate 2Tb 3.0, so I figured it should go in a USB 3.0 port. The difference between using wifi and ethernet, for me, is 125 Mbs higher with ethernet. Apparently, there is a "fix" coming so that the X5 will stop rebooting when you go to You Tube while using ethernet.

I am just starting to figure out my "X5" box. I will be using the "box" for IPTV only. Is there anyone out there willing to work with me to come up with a "how to use the X5? I do not see any "guide" on how to use most of the things the X5 can do. How about coming up with a "user" guide! I don't see any guide any where! My first question is, how do you pause LIVE TV? Pressing the pause button does not seem to be the proper starting point. Lets start there. Thanks in advance. Terry K
