Yes, setting to the mode to record. Worked on previous versions. I see that there is another report of this issue on the legitfta forum.
Throughout the months of this thread and in other forums, others have reported the same findings as myself. Despite this, it appears that some members have doubts of my ability to provide accurate and truthful information and would rather trash my comments in this and other forums. I am a hobbyist first, always interested in new toys and how they work. Don't need to convince anyone of anything and certainly never tried to sell any product in this thread. Primestar31, it wouldn't matter if I commented on a 3rd X2. I am somehow viewed as an untrustworthy source of information...
I will not bother wasting anymore of your or my time by sharing additional testing results. It is an interesting receiver since it uses the same chipset as the HDVR1200, but I am withdrawing from this thread due to the juvenile postings by some members who would rather leave snarky remarks instead of engaging in a constructive dialog.
