Stop When Full – When the TimeShift buffer is full, the recording stops automatically and the system displays the ‘Buffer full’ message.

Delay – When the TimeShift function is activated, the current IPTV channel is automatically saved to the buffer in 1, 3, 5, or 10 seconds after turning it on. You can set the delay before recording process starts. If the Pause When Button Pressed option was selected, automatic recording is deactivated. To start recording, the user presses the button.
