Hi there,

Info: i have a G5, 1,8 GHz, enough hardddrive, no energy save-settings active and installed the MyTV/x V.2.2.1 for my MYTV USB TV Tuner.

After a recording-time from about 1hr40min the record stopps...no matter if i use a time (over 1.40) or leave the record-time-option blank...after about 1hr 40 min the recording stopps?
Does anybody knows that problem too?
And even has a solution?

Thanks in advane

When using other compressions, did the recording also stop at 3,5GB or after 1h 40m?

Check your preferences. ISTR that recording times out after a user-specified time. By default it's an hour.
