  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

Is the video about 1 GB/hr ? I may have to go with a flash drive until I can hopefully find a bargain on a hard drive on slickdeals. Other than storage capacity, does the flash drive perform equally as well as an external hard drive?

FYI some HD feeds are much larger than that and some SD stuff a little less. NBC feeds on both 103w Ku and 105w C are around 6.5 GB an hour!

What I record on are laptop 120GB IDE drives using an IDE to USB 2.0 adapter purchased on fleabay and it works on the Micro HD and Opebox S9 receivers I have. I've also got a 500GB and a 640GB SATA laptop drives that I record on via a USB 3.0 to SATA adapter I got on fleabay. Those laptop drives only require 5v @.5 amp so the USB ports power them just fine. I've also used USB 2.0 flash drives to record on as well.
