Thread: PVR w/ Azbox Elite HD on 30w

is this possible? I haVE an Elite HD and a usb external hdd. Is this still the high SR rate issue? Its been almost 3 years since I bought this thing.

I wasn't sure I should post this in thE open section

moved to azbox forum. I dont see any issue with the question

Yes the elite still has the high bitrate issue when recording to a HDD. Recording to an external recorder (like a DVD recorder) there is no issues. I recorded a basketball game last to the DVD recorder/hard drive because even though it was 4:2:2 SD it was high bitrate so the attached HDD st-st-stuttered

Shouldn't be any trouble with 30W for a channel such as Cubavision, though. That one particular channel ought to be just fine.

the hdd blinks like it's recording but nothing is there when I try to play it after.

Freezy,

You are not accessing the proper menu route or path to get to your recordings.

Start in the TV mode (watching a channel). Click the MENU button and scroll down to RECORDED PROGRAM. Click OK when that selection is highlighted and you will see the list of the programs that you have recorded. If you have more than one HDD connected (like one internal and one external drive or two external drives) you will have to press the ◄ or ► buttons to change the SOURCE NAME (device) as indicated in the small window at the bottom left of the screen.This will toggle you between all the individual HDDs that you have connected to the AZBox.
