ts vs mkv recording

[Andy C]

Typically I get recording in ts format but from time to time the box records or tries to record in mkv format and fails most of the time.

Anybody knows how to rectify or force it to stay in TS only.

XRS4500 with unofficial upgrade to 5 ( works very well except this mkv issue) 

Thanks

maybe that's the problem is that you're not using buzztv 4

I don't think so........I has been using it for 3 months, it is fantastic.  The problem is specific to some channels only with one provider used as a backup service and it is consistent on my 2 boxes. 

Viewing is perfect. It fails after "waiting for a datastream" message. Also +6hrs channels record fine in mp4.

I am just trying to find out if there is something which can help. The boxes(2) perform very well otherwise

It records in TS or MKV depending on the format the stream you're watching is in. 

 

There is no way to force it in TS
