June 26, 20224 yr hey Guys i’m having a problem recording with my buzz box v5 is there a step by step on how to record programs to it? i’m hit and miss,some of my questions are do you have to leave the box on? and on the channel you want to record? can you record to a usb or sd card? can you use sd card and/or usb to record channels and also use the same card or usb to timeshift? do i have to leave it on the iptv provider to record or can i watch one of the two i have and will it record on the the one i’m not watching at the moment? what’s the best place to store timeshift data? i know…lol alot of questions and i’m testing when i have time but it’s warm outside so the fam is demanding of my time right now thx and Troy is the freakin man!!
June 26, 20224 yr a lot depends on whether your service allows one connection or more Menu ,account info will tell you if there is more than one
June 26, 20224 yr Author one service allows 2 the other allows 4 but it seems like if i record a show while box and reciever are on and tuned to the channel i want to record? it works but that doesn't seem right to me shouldn't i be able to put the box to sleep and the reciver off and still have it record? anyone else recording iptv using the buzz app have sucess? how are you doing it? thx
June 26, 20224 yr recording and turning off box works on 4900 ill play with recording tonight on the x5 Edited June 26, 20224 yr by nbs.
June 26, 20224 yr i did record two shows and watch while watching one channel One of the recordings failed but one worked You can hit the red button to start recording immediately I use one button record you can record from guide and either schedule it Always good to add a few minutes Then you can schedulea recording from menu etc Edited June 26, 20224 yr by nbs.

June 26, 20224 yr one recording while watching = 2 two recordings while watching one = 3 three recordings while watching one = 4 but I can watch a channel other than the ones recording and it stays at 4 and freezing has improved greatly one button record is off
June 26, 20224 yr the good news is I switched servers and when I went back my recordings were still going
July 13, 20224 yr I’m just bought a new xrs4900 my question is can I record my favourite movie but on schedule time I mean the stb is off I tried to record when the stb is off but it is not working Can somebody help me. Thanks
July 13, 20224 yr you need an update pm allaboutbuzz or email cs@buzztv.com your mac addy(server id),model number and current version

August 6, 20224 yr By , say , four connections, do you mean the same playlist from a supplier that allows multiple connections? Terry K

Terry K YES, that is exactly what he is referring to. Some suppliers offer multiple connections (2, 3, 4 or more). This will allow you to do multiple recording in parallel. Just keep in mind that each recording is a fork and creates another connection to the server. So watching live TV is one connection and then every simultaneous recording (even if it is the same channel you are watching) is another connection.

August 6, 20224 yr Thank you "Emporium". I use an app that can run multiple play lists at the same time. I guess this entirely different. TK

Even in your post above you stated "with 2 connections you use both while recording the channel you're watching" and this is what I recall when running a few tests back then.
