Comment (by anonymous):

 About the following:

 "- Just use normal files for timeshifting.
 - Automatically change to a new physical file on channel change or program
 change (from the guide data). Would also need to segment files every few
 hours, in order to allow very long programs to be timeshifted and still
 offer the ability to limit space used for timeshifting. Could just punt on
 this and just require enough recording space, though."

 I own a Siemens PVR (it's the Gigaset M740 AV) which is really nice. It
 has the timeshifting feature well designed: It creates several files while
 watching TV of about 80MB. Previous versions of the Firmware created files
 of 300MB. Then there is a file which identifies what show is splited into
 which files (a crid file, by the way. Check this for more info:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crid ). In my opinion it's good to split
 broadcasts into small files (well, you name the size, cause you guys maybe
 know better how to deal with that and make it optimized) because that
 helps fine tuning the space used by all the timeshifting data.
