How do I shrink the LiveTV buffer size? Right now, I'm watching football and my current buffer file (for pausing, rewinding, etc) is 4GB! I mean, I don't need to rewind to see the play an hour ago =) Is it possible to limit the buffer to ~10min or something more reasonable than ~2 hours?

Thanks!

It will continue to record to the same file until:
a) you stop live TV
b) you change channels
c) a new program starts (per the guide)

The old file will be deleted and a new one started.

The buffer size is based on the duration of the current show you're watching. It'll stop recording to this file (and delete it) when you change channels, or the next show starts. There is currently no way to limit this.
