Hi folks sorry to post here but this really is a C-Band related not pirate / hack / DVB nonsense.
I forgot how big a drive (ext. USB) this box can format and record to. Up to now I have used a 1 TB drive. But it's full and I want to keep the programming on it (Got the usual SATA "crash" at > 80 % so stop recording to it - but it's all there TOC is probably corrupted (verified with laptop) .
Also , unrelated is there something I can about those unsteady DVD S2 signals on my aging system (peaked and running an ancient but reliable C-band lnb) .Or I am wasting my time and money ? Is this an SR issue? Old lnb can't handle it . I will try to post more specific info if needed ( I am watching Satmex S6 at 113. Following Earthquake and practicing my Spanish '-)
Oh. have modified my uHD with RCA jacks for composite video and stereo out - yes it's tight back there but managed it - with shielded cable and ferrite beads but still get terrible ghosting (still much better than that silly breakout cable they provide (too thin). I will hook it up to a 720p Panasonic plasma this week but was wondering what is the maximum length I can use. Setup is further away.
Last Q'n, I promise. I seem to remember that when I first got this receiver I was able to change TV resolution from the remote without going in the menu each time I want to go from LB to P&S ( Remember I am on analog TV (90% of shows I watch are from the 50's!!), so can't set "auto". It's a compromise, on 4:3 SD content it's fine , on HD 16:9 I lose sides (it looks terrible in HD widescreen on this old 32" Panasonic Gaoo).
