Record and watch different

[Earl73]

Up hntil Friday I could record  1 channel and watch a different channel.  Is this a box issue or provider issue?

 

Anyone else having this issue?

provider

[Emporium]

As DU mentioned, it is provider.   I am assuming the sub you have supports/includes multiple simultaneous streams ?

Is it possible that you are only supposed to have a single stream and your service just did not enforce it until recently ?

or maybe OP switch from multiple to single login

to save money and why would pay extra when no need

one connection or two or more the price is the same for all services I use

most xc api accounts are 2 connections for same price as 1 mac connection

if using a buzz you use xc api so you can record/download while watching something else

why pay a service that screws you?lol

So I switched from xc api to m3u and started a recording.  Switched channels no problem.

Went back to xc api and only 1 recording. 

Would rather use xc api as it doesn't freeze as much as m3u does.

your service isn't disconnecting you from previous when you change channels

it shouldn't take more than a few minutes

I have reset box to cancel connections.  So far so good. Recording on one channel while surfing.

 

Will update if anything changes.  Thanks for your input.
