hi, as the kernel finally supports standby or spin down or whatever mode for my SATA disks, I have set up an aggressive scheme trying to spin down disks whenever possible. The results: 2 degrees drop in case temperature and a significantly lower noise. And a playout "problem"... It takes about 5 secs to start stopped disks. It is not a problem when starting a recording, but when recordings span over several disks there will be an annoying pause when it is time to start reading from another disk. The live-TV buffering works like a charm, though. Is there a possibility to configure (for example) a 10s buffering for playback while keeping the live-TV buffering as it is now? yours, Jouni
