My error - damaged and potentially intermittent cable. Or at least a replacement cable has shown good results in a brief series of tests.

As the unit worked as expected after the upgrade I thought I must have later inadvertently restored from an incorrect USB key with old files when modifying data externally. Yesterday I ran the processes, (downloaded from satellite, new scan, no external modifications, local time set, GMT off)...

Thanks Larry1, I will give it a go. Yesterday SES 2 11808 tp 5 (LPB HD) 8:00PM 3 hours 11:55PM 1.5 hours - dependably repeatable Without an audit trail I can't be certain but tend to do such things as stipulated. On the other hand I will redo first chance. Scanned new as there are only a...

There is no reoccurring timer or reference to one, just three timers on different transponders on a single satellite on a single day. GMT was off and remains off. Machines have no intelligence to be smarter than but properly implemented software design on the right equipment can respond...

I probably forgot to record for 59 minutes rather than 60 although I thought there was an hour between recordings two and three. I'll try again at 59. Thanks folks.

I don't do a lot of recording so I don't know if this is new or not but... when two or three recordings are set on a single satellite for a single day it records the first one properly but removes the others without recording. There is plenty of space on the NTFS drive and it records correctly...

There are any number of reasons traceability is not desirable and a cash sale on the street is good for that.

That's what I thought as well but I tried it on a recording that usually has CC and it wasn't available. Maybe I made an error, I couldn't actually tell as I have nothing to compare. I will try it again.

Is there a way to capture closed caption on a recording started by a timer? Can it record as it does when started manually with CC already set?

And the electronics industry might still be American-based allowing more people better incomes, a chance to buy more expensive computers and maybe one day a home of their own. In our race to get cheap stuff we sent jobs off-shore, left many folks believing wages were damaged irreparably and the...

"In some countries, prices for AKs are very low; in Somalia, Rwanda, Mozambique, Congo and Tanzania prices are between $30 and $125 per weapon, and prices have fallen in the last few decades due to mass counterfeiting." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47

Cloners won't clone if buyers don't buy their goods regardless of turnaround time. The Kalashnikov (AK-47) first appeared in 1947 and is still a favorite of counterfeiters around the world due to demand. On the other hand it hasn't done much to destroy the market for military equipment so maybe...

Being something new pretty much ensures it is not a genuine clone. Technical advancement as most advancement is a combination of old and new. Only very expensive lawyers seem able to discern the correct amount of new to qualify as next generation or breakthrough rather than intellectual...

Buying technology by price alone rather than paying for the expertise, talent, effort and knowledge of an original designer is probably the best way to ensure a technology without a future. Without a return on investment designers can't produce and clone resellers (China doesn't sell us anything...

Ken is an old-fashion-stir-the-pot kind of guy good for keeping folks in the fray and in the game...or at least in the cheap seats. I don't think he attracts much of a crowd on Wall Street. Further reading on the situation indicates yet another proud moment in 'he started it' international...
