PVR Functionality

[oc3me]

I can't seem to reliably schedule recordings from the EPG; is there a trick to this?

I have inserted a SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDXC (C10, U3). The box recognizes it, and I have treated it as external memory. It displays as USB1 in the PVR portion of the app, and I have it selected vs the internal storage. I initially formatted it as extended internal storage, but the PVR software would not recognize it as such.

If I am watching live tv and hit record, it seems to work properly. But if I scheduled something for the next morning and leave the box running overnight, there's a great chance that it will fail. I was getting "stream not available" when a recording failed before the update, but now I get the spinning BuzzTV logo.

Please let me know if I made a mistake in my configuration or if this is a known issue. I'm open to using an app instead of the installed proprietary software if it makes recoding reliable....if I actually watched the games I record live, I would have a very short marriage. :tehe:

Thanks in advance.

Edit: The issue persists with 2 different providers.

Last I have heard is that you need to change the player to beta under menu settings . Although i have noticed one providor has an issue with playing the streams on certain channels while ok2 works flawless

Menu..
Configuration..
Select player
Select Beta ....
Exit out and stream will reload
Try your pvr testing again

Not all providers will work. I can tell you Express works flawless as well.

This is working for me. Thanks!

The only thing I would suggest is that if you find your provider's EPG less than accurate, it is better to schedule a recording for a specific date/time through the menu than it is to click the red button while in the guide.

Do not think it's buzz issue. I've went back and forth with buzz about it before. At time I was reselling iptv express and streamhub. Streamhub would not work at all. Says rec on top right then goes away after 2 seconds. While on express rec stayed on and was able to play what i saved.
