Posted in the Online Upgrade. Will probably post the satellite update on Tuesday.
How is work on the channel editor coming along? Is there an updated version available for testing? I miss being able to edit everything on my computer like I was able to with the GEOSATpro HD, or my older Viewsat & Fortec receivers...
I don't see a problem with doing that but I wonder if the vendor would void your warranty for doing so. I would imagine that it won't cause problems but it could void the warranty, at the vendors discretion of course. You're "safe" as long as nothing goes wrong with the product during the warranty period.
I am looking into this. Will update you in a day or two
Does schedule kick in on the internal drive for you? Also, did you make sure to mark it "record"?
This is not coming as fast as anticipated. I am working on solution. What is good, the channel list structure is technically xml, so it's not complicated.
I tried both internal and external. The message comes up "going to record in 60 sec" but when the message goes out......no record starts on either recording device. Thanks.
In our testing the channel switched from another channel and recording started successfully.
Please indicate did you set schedule for Once, Daily, a particular day? What was the length of the recording set? Can you send a picture of the timer?
I should start from the beginning. I'm not using the internal USB port, but I'm using the internal USB thumb drive in the front port. I now think the schedule timer only works on a device connected to the internal USB port. Does this sound correct? I couldn't get the internal USB drive to record and playback without picture breakups. I tried formatting Fat32 and NTFS. The box would not allow me to format NTFS to the internal device. I had to remove it and then format the thumb drive using the front USB port. Once I did that, my recording got much better using the 64gb drive now formatted HTFS. I have nothing currently in the USB port inside. I was hoping I could schedule record to an external drive since they have been working much better for me than the internal 64gb thumb drive. Sorry for the trouble.
If the drive allows recording, it will allow timer.
Your issue is different. It doesn't matter internal or front or back ports, they are mostly the same, but if the drive is not ntfs or fat32, it will not work. If the drive failed, format it using a computer. If it failed, send me direct (private) message with serial number of your receiver and we will replace the drive. If you have another drive please make sure it's NtFS or fat32 formatted and you can record to it without timer first.
Hmmm, is it possible then to edit the channel list with XML Notepad? If so, how can I get the channel list from the receiver and upload back?
That would be a question to ask the vendor, but my post was liked by SatelliteAV, so I'm assuming he liked the idea, I know I was told it was OK to open and remove the internal USB drive, so this really isn't much different, you're not really modifying anything, just adding an extension to the USB port for easier access.
We do not void the warranty unless there is a damage to the main board. and yes i did like your idea, apparently.
I set the schedule for Once, 10 Minutes(just testing), I will take a picture of the timer. I can record manually by just press record key on remote. Schedule will change Satellites and Channels, just no record start.
