PVR causes video to freeze

[auggie]

Process of elimination, tracking it down, are you "ONLY" hooked up to one Sat. (91) or are there still others (110,119) hooked up as well. Suggest ONLY Setup on one Sat. say (91) no switches, etc. in the equation (single cable) direct to T5, run for a while as is
no (usb/pvr, plugged in) see if acts up, then get a small 4-8gb USB Stick/thumb-drive for PVR, Try it and see if acts up etc.
You have to TAKE One Step at a time, and track down what is causing your issue/problem.
I still believe it is a power issue (power adapter,board,caps,etc.) but you will have to find it.

Could be the unusual amount of porn recorded.lol

Most thumb drives need a change, along with hands when needed.

Please let's stay on topic here.

The bot who is the main Mod has said that in various threads.

When it does not stay on topic hoping this thread will not be closed.

Anyway I ordered a Sandisk 8gb flash drive, and this is for anything else than porn.

No problem I am cool with it.

Update: I received the Sandisk flash drive, and currently testing it. I will let you know the outcome of it soon.

New Update: I tried the Sandisk flash drive, and I even made sure it was formatted using easeus partition master for FAT32.
This is a 8GB flash drive because I could not get a hold of a 4GB flash drive, and unfortunately it gave me Invalid USB again.

I don't know what else to do about this T5, but I have heard since I have only running 91 on one dish through one LNB using one barrel connection to T5.

The other barrrel connector to T1.

This is just an idea, I went on Dish Settings under LNB Power instead of both of the DL boxes showing as On could one of them be 13v....the other would be 18v which I have saved afterward.

This did not work Invalid USB again.

Anyway I did a reboot to see if it will record and so far it is recording.

I will let you know later on if it freezes up goes scrambled on another update.

[lionking]

It just froze up and scrambled again so I really don't know what else to do maybe I have to do a factory recovery....factory bin...then newest bin I can't think of anything else.

Anyone else has any more ideas on how to solve this this?

Thanks in advance.

Did you make sure to turn off power to all LNB'S not in use or not being used ?
Any glitch with the T5 while recording "WILL" cause the recording to Freeze
Also possible HD Module or power cord adapter on it's way out ?

Yes all power turned off on all LNB'S not in use or not being used

I also decided to format one of my sandisk flash drives then do a copy paste of factory bin newest bin and proper name for T5

Just in case turning off server port for 110 and it has red bars.

Doing a new scan for 91 right now Power on Type Single Frequency 11.250 22KHz off including DiSEqC 1.0 and 1.1 and Legacy SW

Signal and Quality blue bars in the low to mid 90s

Trying a record for PVR now...cross my fingers.....

Nope it froze again.

Do you have a spare power adapter you can try instead of the one your using ?

I could see if I can find one.

Also I have LNB Power turned off on all SATS for Dish Settings the only thing is I still have 110 showing up through 91 with blue bars.

Could it be because I shouldn't have used the file for proper names?

Now the bars have gone red for SAT 110.

I am trying rec for PVR again, and I have found a power supply adapter that is 12v 1.5 and looks like the second one I used for the T5 not the original one.

I took this power supply adapter off a powered external usb drive...could that work?

[auggie]

Could be, don't load any Sat files, i would do a factory reset, then redo your settings on 91 "only"
no switches,etc. straight hookup (one cable) and SCAN IN CHANNELS (sat. scan) try to run bare bones etc.
I would also try a different power supply too 12v 3-5amp rated anything below 3amp is not going to do it

Yes I will do the above and is this what I should exactly be doing.

Is this what I should be buying?

12V 3A Power Supply Adapter Universal Convert AC 100-240V to DC with 5mm Output (2pack)

Yes that should do it

Update: After I did a factory update I made sure all Sats that were not in use LNB Power off.

I noticed 2 Sats 119 and 129 showed up Sat 91 which is the only Sat I am connected to.

Even after I turned off LNB Power showed blue bars s&q which then I had to switch from 11.250 to something else in LNB Frequency then bars went to red.

Right now so far using PVR to record with 8GB Sandisk Flash Drive, and still recording.

I will let you now how it goes how long it will record in the next update.
