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?

The thirty minute skip interval is just the ticket, particularly in conjunction with the scan forward/reverse. I simply didn't notice there was a 30 minute as well as a 30 second setting. Thanks

Yes, I meant to say starting playback at a specific time. My wife and I tend to watch different parts of a recording in fits and starts at separate times. I am interested in the last hour of the recording which is of no interest to her. We are both interested in the second hour so it is not...

I am probably missing something obvious but how is a specific start time set in a long recording? If a recording is six hours, how can it be started at the five hour mark?

Received a microHD yesterday - nice box. Very refreshing to have a unit with a comprehensive manual designed for my purposes. No more trying to divine answers to technical questions from arcane websites. Can the logos use other file types than m2v? I could try a few but thought I would ask...

It's the only one we ever record. Haven't even tried others as it never occurred to me. Thanks

My Ultra, running 9.5402 with hardware acceleration set 'off' records at the correct time and for the set length of time but doesn't make available the record time with the saved file. During playback, the time reads 0 of 0 so there is no option to advance, stop/continue or replay. It will only...

Doesn't that just make sense. It is also in keeping with the other hardware options like setting resend based on the switches in place. Ah well, I'll keep the boots by door in the winter. Thanks, Jim

RADAR, Like you, I have thought of several potentials for the settings...like determining if the dish is moving east or west if at all and then reporting it back through software so I don't have to go down the stairs out the door, down the steps into the snow to see if the dish is moving. In an...

Would someone please explain what commands 'Fast DiSEqC' and 'Use Power Measurement' under DiSEqC settings in Enigma2 Release 1.7.0 do and when they are applicable? I've had no luck searching including a document from Eutelsat describing the DiSEqC command set.

Cham, The unit has never been quicker just using the predefined positions and goto commands. I always thought the motor was a little slow but now it is surprisingly quick getting into position and returning a stable signal. Switching between transponders with this software is also faster than...

RADAR, I must say Enigma is great software for those interested in having a peek at what the CPU and other electronic tidbits are talking about while you are being distracted by television. It is fast on blind scans but recording an event in a few days on transponders without EPG is limited...

I have a work around that suits me for now. Enigma has a feature called "Search East" and "Search West". You plug in the details of a satellite and transponder and hit the button. It stops at the best signal, you add it to the list of locations and just add the address (001, 002) to the...

(Edit: I was mistaken in my understanding of the software and deleted a section that was incorrect.) When I request signal from the fixed dish, which is pointed at a satellite beyond the range of the motorized unit, the motor goes to the end of its tether and stops - there's nothing more so the...

"DVB boards will keep sending DiSEqC commands until an acceptable signal level is reached, or different command issued" is interesting. How is an acceptable signal determined? Weather conditions have all signals down somewhat but viewable. Viewing on the stationary disk is fine as it doesn't...

I said all that and managed not to mention that dish uses only USALS, that was an oversight. It has been working well for years...until lately. Radar, you are probably correct but there are a couple of reasons I was thinking the AZBox might be continuing to issue commands well after the call...

I have an AZBox connected to a Stab HH120 that is not working correctly. The AZBox Ultra works fine with a fixed dish but with the Stab it works sometimes, not at all at other times and moves back and forth over the requested position much of the time. It over shoots the goal as...
