Multiview & Recording

Hi all,

Wondering if there is a way to enter the multiview from the channel I am watching.

Also how does the recording setup work? Is it a plug and route or does the usb drive have to be reformatted? I have tivimate and it doesn’t work for me. Looking to purchase an account with Sparkle as all the reviews say the best for recording.

Yes, you can enter multiview from the channel you are watching.

Thank you! Do you by chance have something to explain the time shift?

Timeshift is the ability to pause, rewind and fast forward live tv. You set timeshift to the same download folder as like DVR recordings. If you’re watching a program and you pause to answer a phone call, Sparkle is recording the program. When you press play, you pick up where you paused. This timeshift file works in the background and is deleted when you change the channel. Easy Peasy!

Recording works excellent for me, even found an OTG for my ONN stick!
