FREESTYLE-HACKER:

Could someone please repost this Incredibly Useful file? The link is broken, and it was just posted last month.

Follow the directions here, it's easy, copy the stuff into a text file, then rename it from <filename>.txt to <filename>.hta. This is what I used, it does work with MCE 2005 and also with Windows Vista and will max out around 2-3 hours of pause time.

Again, one of those little programs you should always keep around !!!!!! A must for Media Center of any flavor...

Here is a gui from Doug Knox. http://www.dougknox.com/xpmce/utils/mce_livetvbuffermgr.htm

Awesome, Hadrian. Nice find!

Is this GUI just for LiveTV or will it fix the pause issue in MCE overall? Pause lasts anywhere from 3 minutes to 10 minutes on my version...no where near the "30 minute deault" that I've read about.

LiveTV. I can now pause my TV and come back an hour later. Setting it to 2 hours messed with my machine some.
