Can't get PVR's to play

Featured Replies

We recently set-up our new Buzz Box and I have recorded several items which I would like to view.  It doesn't change if I go to the Menu and select PVR or if I select PVR from the remote. I get the list of shows I taped but I cannot access them / get them to activate and play. Does anyone else have this problem? If you did were you able to fix it and if so how?

you recording to internal?external storage

formatted storage with buzz?

assigned storage?

Not sure what assigned storage means but I found the program we wanted to tape, selected it and selected to record it. I see in the PVR's that they have been taped but wont play them. hope that helps.

I told you what I did in order to tape on the PVR,  if I knew how to operate this unit I would not be looking for help. I told you I didn't know what assigned storage meant and, if I taped it by going to the show and recording it there, it would be internal storage.

Formatted storage? If it was not formatted it would not have allowed me to Rec?

I did not say that I had added any components to it to make it external. I appreciate your help but please don't be so short or impatient with others that do not understand the jargon.

It's hard to help when you post a general statement that you cant record and you provide no info.

Yes you said you didn't understand one of my questions but you didn't answer any.

I could have asked more but I asked those to narrow it down.

I'm not here to give you a hard time ,here to help

Do you shut unit off after setting up recording?

Are you using one button pvr?

Recording from guide?

Manual?

As dishuser asks what media player are you using,
