Outlaw Pilot

You know, it IS possible to release incremental updates that are tested and stable more frequently like most other tech companies do. Not criticizing their release schedule but the excuse of testing for stability being the cause of longer intervals isn't necessarily valid.

I just want to be able to record shows to watch later. I tried recording some sporting events around 3 hours long and find that after 30 minutes they stop.

No

Thanks for the link to that video. I've set up internal storage and DVR correctly. Perhaps the consistency of the stream is what is affecting the reliability.

That's good to know. When I purchased the U5 it was on a leap of faith as I didn't know one product from another. I liked the ability to add an SSD and use the device as a DVR but I haven't had a lot of luck getting that to work reliably (as compared to a cable company DVR). But aside from that I can't complain about the U5 for sure!

I'm sure. I've also referred to it as a Buzz TV box, a STB, and an Android box, just to try to provide language they'd better understand.

I have shared your suggestions with my provider (Lemo) and their response was "We can reduce some country's channels because the package is too heavy, You got the whole playlist which is too heavy for your device to handle so we have to reduce it according to your preference." This doesn't make sense to me as a) I'm sure the U5 can handle a lot of channels, and b) it's been fine until now. Nonetheless, I've had them reduce the number of channels by eliminating countries I'd simply never watch, and it seems to work now. But I don't understand.

I have three U5's that have been working perfectly. Suddenly yesterday, 2 of them are throwing a bad username/password error when trying to get on to my MAC server. The thing is the server uses the MAC addresses of my devices to authenticate, NOT usernames and passwords. I emailed the provider and they say nothing changed on their end but they reset my account nevertheless. No improvement. Any ideas?
