Well, I got mine up and running, but I backed it up first! TWICE (to separate drives) Thanks DEE! I appreciate the lesson, I know it cost you some heartache, but I am SURE you have saved others the same heartache if they read what happened to you and heed the warning.
I am NOT very familiar with Android, even though I do have an Acer Android tablet I barely ever use. I'll have to figure out how to get to the App Store later. Anyway, I got my internal 1TB drive installed, and a 16gb microsd card. I formatted the 1TB drive, and backed up the system to BOTH the sd card and the C: drive (two copies). It took me a while because I deliberately fumbled around a little before reading some of the pdf guides. That helps give me a frame of reference in knowing what to read in the manuals. It got much easier once I realized those invisible PAGE keys existed! (my thinking: WTF! Why the *ell can't I get to the APP screen, these arrow keys around the OK button do nothing! ARGHHH! Oh, there's invisible (totally black) arrow keys, I wonder what they do? lol)
Next thing after getting all the basics done to set it to my router and tv set, set a file path for recordings and such, is to scan in some sats. For now, this is hooked up to the coax that used to be hooked up to my X2 receiver before I got rid of it. Now I had to remember how it was configured with my switches, then remembered I had that written down on a legal pad (I just haven't looked at that pad for a long time, as I've just been watching tv instead of playing with my system.
Anyway, I have 87W c-band setup and scanned in, as that's the last sat my MicroHD just finished recording Doctor Who from. Right now I'm watching the FilmOn channel, which is showing the old horror movie "House on Haunted Hill". I also have 103W ku band scanned in and working as that's on a fixed dish with a different DisEqc setting. That's as far as I've gotten so far. I'm still trying to figure out how to change to different audio settings for some of those channels on 103W, no joy yet for that.
So far I like it, but this ain't your fathers satellite receiver!
). Dee_Ann, don't be so hard on yourself. Your not an idiot or stupid. We've all done it before - we get a cool new toy and dig right in. And it's definitely a different piece of equipment than most of us are used to. A valuable lesson was learned by all. It can be fixed so don't beat yourself up for it. It could have been any of us!
