I've been unable so far to transfer (watch) movies from my Viewsat PVR 7000 to my PC.
I'm using USB Explorer v 0.7. I can easily connect PVR to PC, copy movies from PVR to PC and then convert those files but I have been unable so far to watch those movies on my PC : black screen, no sound, lot of pixellization, crashes, etc.
I'v tried with at least 5 - 6 different video players. I've also installed the latest version of K-Lite Codec Pack.
Am I missing something ?
With all my thanks.
Cheers

Does the Coolsat 7000 come with some USB copy program?
I didn't think that was necessary.
I don't have a Coolsat 7000 PVR, but based on what I've read...
It's pretty computer-friendly
It's possible to make DVDs from the recordings.
If you are having trouble playing the material, you may not have a player capable of the particular format for that specific station.
The VideoReDo forum has to do with video editing and processing, and there's a thread over there discussing success with the Coolsat 7k.
Since you can get their software for a free 2-week trial, you might give that a try.
Coolsat 7000 pvr - VideoReDo MPEG Editor Forums
I was helping another user over there, but he seems to want to edit out commercials and then upload the edited video back to the Coolsat!
So, the more we can learn about the unit (from you and from him), the better we'll be able to help others.
If there are any tricks or complications, they'll be posted here on this forum, for the benefit of all.

You got your shows to play!
That's great.
So, you've proven a lot of the steps are working fine.
VideoReDo has its own built-in codecs, and does not rely on any loaded onto your system.
Most other players do.
Now, the immediate problem is to get you a player that'll work.
Have you looked at VLC?
Ya might look through our FTA DVB department for hints on playing video downloaded from satellite.
The people who cruise through there should have the answer for you.
I don't know if their web site shows it yet, but the VideoRedo folks have TV Suite, which is a super-set of VideoReDo, and it will also author DVDs.
So, something to think about for the future.
btw- I'm curious. Once a show is recorded on the CS 7k, why not watch it on your TV set?
I either do that, or make a DVD and watch that on my TV.
But, that's just me.

Thanks for your kind help. There's hope !
You see, the hard drive on my Viewsat PVR 7000 is almost full. I need to make some space.
My computer is hooked to my TV set. So I just need to copy those films on my 500 GB external drive, play them on my computer and send the signal to my TV set.
If I want to keep it, then I burn it on DVD or encode it as an AVI file (but this I have not been able to do yet). This will be my next step.

you can't have too much storage!
Both my computers hard drives are nearly full.
One machine has 460gb storage, and the other has 960gb.
I put an extra 300gb USB drive on line last night, and hope to use that as work space to compile and burn some of my shows.
Just got an email from a buddy who was worried that one of his two 250gb drives might be getting unreliable.
Here's what I said to him:
I do know how you feel !

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Ok, I'm bored .... actually - to be more precise - I'm bored of eating the same rotation of 9 or 10 meals that are currently my "go-to" meals. My wife works the long hours - I work from home as and when i feel like it ... which means i generally do most of the cooking ... and so by default - i also make out the shopping list ...
We cook at home 5 or even 6 nights a week - but we always seem to fall back on the same old tried and tested "quick and easy but tastes ok" meals. Week in week out.
Pot Roast - mash and Peas.
Spaghetti
Chicken Pasta in cheese sauce.
Curry & rice
(these are some of mine)
Now it's not that I'm not adventurous in the kitchen ... I'll try anything once or twice ... but we all do it. Unless your name is Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray .. we all eventually fall back on our 8-10 favorite "meals"
So i thought - if we shared some of our own go-to meals with each other ... we might be able to add a few "new" ones to our own arsenal of meals.
So again - I ask you ...
What's for dinner tonight ?
Please give me something new to add to my rotation ... its our weekly shop tomorrow - so i want to pull together a few idea's and try and eat a meal each day next week that I've never had before .. or at least something that is not on my current "go-to" meal plan.
What meal do you always seem to fall back on in your house ? Maybe its something that I've never tried or not had in a while. I need inspiration !! I've got a blank shopping list in front of me - and nothing sounds good .. HELP !

Smoked some salmon on the grill while enjoying some Blue Moon beer. Kinda cool tonight so I fired up the heaters. Here in FL, we fire up heaters once the temps get below 60 
As for the salmon, I seared them first, then flipped them off to the side not over the coals and brushed on some lemon pepper marinade followed by some salmon seasoning. Threw some hickory chips on the coals and then closed the vents to about 10% airflow. Yum.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.
