Hi all!
I searched the forums and google but cannot come up with an answer. I have a Captiveworks cw800s and a CNX Nano II both of which have a PVR function. I am trying to find out if there is a way to set it up so that it records a show for me on a schedule (lets say Mon-Fri 11pm-12am). I have looked high and low and it seems the only way to record is by just pushing the record button. Any ideas? If these 2 boxes don't do it but you know of one that does or another way to accomplish what I'm doing I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

format it as NTFS (or whatever its called) via a computer.

Some receivers require timers to be set in a 24 hour format. I never used the CaptiveWorks DVR function, but on CNX you enter the start time and a DURATION. :D

I wrote a manual on a receiver based on the same chipset. Here is the Timer page:

The drive was originally formatted to NTFS and neither reciever would recognize it when connected, same thing with exFAT. Once I formatted FAT32 it recognized and worked fine.

Thanks Titanium, I'll try that. I am still struggling with the 1minute files on the CW800s. See attached photo to for an example. I followed your guide for the CNX and set up a time record entry for today so we'll see how that works. Kinda sux that the CNX menu doesn't have the option to do just Monday-Friday like the CW800s but thanks to these 1minute files the CW800s is useless anyway.

Okay so I had setup a time record on the CNX for a show a couple of days back (thanks to Titanium's guide) and again am running into problems. This time when I went a few hours after it was supposed to have recorded the show and checked it, it showed "USB No Ready" (see attached photo). What is strange is that if I simply push the record button during live tv it begins recording no problem and I have recorded over an hour long file using this method and it plays back awesome. It just won't do a scheduled record. Yes, I did try formatting the drive (FAT32) using the menu in the CNX.

Any ideas? I seem to be striking out with both of these receivers....

Is the HDD going to sleep? Some of these older STBs did not wake-up USB HDDs, or if they do signal a wake-up, the drive takes too long to mount.

I would guess that it does not like the USB HDD spinning down. Maybe try a flash drive or set-up the HDD so it will not sleep?

I suppose it could be, but I don't think so. I've had those external enclosures that allow the drive to sleep but I don't think this is that kind. Also, don't know if it matters, but the recording works fine with this same drive when I simply press the record button. So not sure if the receiver would expect a quicker wake-up time from a sleeping drive for scheduled records than manual record but I suppose it's possible.

I've been running coax in the attic to a bedroom and just wrapped that up last night so I should have some more time today or tomorrow to mess around with the PVR issue. Borrowed SWMBO's flash drive so I can test that with the time record feature. Will post results.

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

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.

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 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.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

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.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
