media center - can i get more than 30min?

[ripken204]

i was just wondering if it is possible to get more than 30min of rewiniding ability for live TV. lots of times i find myself pausing a show and having to go and do something. then when i finally get back it has been over 30min and the show started playing by itself..

i'd imagine its in the registry key that is used for media centre, i tweaked mine a while back to make the ffwd and rewind jumps 5mins and 1min respectively

i'm at work now, so will hunt the link down for you later.

or just google "media centre vista registry tweaks" most of the dword names were pretty self-explanitory

it was registry, thanks

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Video\Tuners\

DWORD: BackingFileDuration = 600 for 1 Hour

that is what i found, now to test if it works

edit: doesnt seem to have worked
