August 13, 20215 yr I am unable to record programs and play them back. The only way it works is if I record While the program is currently running and leave it on thst channel there must be a way to program recordings and actually have them able to play back. please advise
August 19, 20215 yr Author No! I have purchased a 1TB hard drive to support the storage space for all recordings. I record the program onto it and it still does not allow play back. It only sometimes works when I record and leave the channel on the actual recording program is there something wrong with my box,?
August 19, 20215 yr as nbs said you have to stay on that channel until it stops recording. if you start recording and change channel then recording will stop. whatever you have recorded already if you want to play that then go to all apps, open up vlc player and all of your recording should be there. click on them and play back your recordings.

Upgrade to the 4900 buzz unit and get a service that supports record one channel while you watch another. Good luck!

Mine will only record anywhere between 2 and 10 minutes worth of the program. Doesn't matter if I use internal or external, and I have tons of storage space. I am using the native "play" feature in the PVR menu. Other posts here suggest using an external player such as VLC. Doesn't the built-in native player work? Appreciate any advice. TY Update: I just discovered a setting in Advanced Settings/HDMI CEC for Auto Power OFF. I suspect that when the TV is turned off while waiting for a recording to start, the box detects this thru the HDMI interface and will shut itself off. I disabled Auto Power OFF...lets see what happens....

September 19, 20215 yr I'd like to confirm that you are leaving box on when you record and also not changing channel
