Prem+ and Timer Recordings?

Am I the only one who still is unable to set timer recordigs that acctually work properly? Ever since I bought it I have had to start the recording before leaving home and then stop it myself hours later after I came back just for a 1 hour show mid day. No matter how I set the timers , how long , which channels , wether it is on or in standby it is never reliable, hardly ever works. But the funny thing is the timer is on the reserved list and it even shows conflict if I set another timer within the same timeframe. On the other hand , manually starting the recording (by pressing rec key) always works and it never stops at the 2 hour mark , it keeps going until I stop it (by pressing rec key again)several hours later.

Last night on a chatroom someone told me his, work fine, and he even tested it. I retested mine later to no availability. Could using a 1.5 TB internal drive be the reason?. Anyone any ideas?

BobVick,

Is the procedure that you use identical to what I described above?

JJ,

The procedure that I outlined above is the only way that I know of to do it consistently via the RC. It leaves a bit to be desired (would be nicer if there was an EPG), but we all know that EPG is not available for FTA channels (for the vast majority).

This procedure works for me, so if it is not working for you, then either you are not doing the same things or your recordable media (internal HDD or USB memory device) is giving you trouble.
I am doubting that there is anything wrong with the device as I think you stated that you can record on it using the RC and pressing the RECORD button only. If it records and plays back when doing that, it should also function just as well when using the TIMER recording function.

I very much would like to see you obtain success with this issue, so I will try to help as best as I possibly can with every avenue that I am personally familiar with. Let me know what you have tried so far and let's go from there. We'll get your PVR functioning somehow! :)

Thanks very much Radar, the only difference is that I put the box in Sleep mode or Standby, the rest is the same (but even when I have left it on it never shows any label saying it needs to record anything (someone posted it works that way I think). Not much time lately to test it , I am in the process of making a new channel list starting with the new sat list. Funny thing is when it works it even works in standby BTW. Like I said eventhough it makes no sense to me , last time it was working until I restored my backed up channel list , that is why I decided to do a new channel list.

Will update this thread when I have new info . To be honest with everyone I had been under the impression until recently that this PVR thing was a general issue affecting everyone , I had no idea it was only affecting me. That explains why I posted certain "comments and complains" on Azbox and Ricks websites about this stb, I guess I should have called my vendor at the time rather than assuming it was a general problem and would have found a solution long time ago. Maybe I also misinterpretted the answers I was given at the time but I "read" that the only solution was Mazedit and the likes. More updates to come , thanks everyone once again.

I really like my AZBox as far as the feature set goes, and it has an amazing tuner. It can hold a weak signal really steady. But it is not a receiver for someone that is not very technologically inclined. It has a big learning curve, and I am still learning about it each time I use it. Over all, I would have to say I have been happy with it though. It certainly is not cheap in comparison to other boxes out there, but I guess you pay for what you get.

HD, that is the one thing that I never have relied upon (STANDBY or SLEEP mode). I just leave the box in the full ON state 24/7. In my own logic I think that it should work from STANDBY, but I just never really gave that a thorough testing.

I sincerely do not think that the channel list would have any impact on the PVR function. Unless you had some duplicate channels that were confusing the AZBox. It is a wise idea to clean up your list, at least you have that issue resolved and you said that you needed to do it anyway, so by all means, continue with that (you'll have a better channel list at least).

The main reason that I had for using MaZEdit is that it is much more "user adjustable". I did not like the 10 minute duration increments. That always would either cut off the end of the program or record 2-9 minutes beyond the end of the program. I didn't want that.

Overall, your PVR issue appears to be an isolated incident for you and maybe just a few others. Some folks are simply not using the proper procedure, but there may be incidents where an actual problem or "glitch" with the AZBox itself is causing them grief. Regardless of what the root cause of your issue is, we can eventually figure it out and make it work the way you want it to. Well, at least to your level of acceptance anyhhow.

Good luck and keep looking UP!

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Stargate SG-1 Discussion

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
