Drumcrazd Posted January 23 Posted January 23 My problem with recording with my X5 box is the fact that I can't turn my TV off after starting a recording. As soon as I do it cancels the recording. Doesn't matter if I turn the TV off with the TV remote or manually by hand. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to get around this?......thanks Quote
nbs. Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I always turn my tv off to record. You turned off buzz first then tv? Post your setup Quote

Emporium Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Could just be one of the HDMI CEC options that are set which turns box off when you turn off the TV. But obviously need more info. 2 Quote

You press the red button to record then confirm and save the recording settings. You will get some message can helps s that the recording stream starts, etc. After a couple of minutes you press the Home key. Soon after a message will appear that the recording has finished which is not what you want to happen. The expectation is that it will continue to record even if you turn off the tv and STB (power off configured to suspend). Note that a scheduled future recording works as expected I hope others can help. Thanks. Quote
dishuser Posted February 19 Posted February 19 why are you exiting what you're recording on the fly? Quote
Dougie Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Just now, dishuser said: why are you exiting what you're recording on the fly? I am recording and exiting so I can watch the program at a later time. Quote
Emporium Posted February 19 Posted February 19 For the whopping 5W to 7W of power that these boxes use, why not just leave it on, and turn off just your TV ? When your VCR used to record a show, did you turn it off and expect it to continue recording ? 1 Quote
Emporium Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) 13 minutes ago, nbs. said: Is your box set to suspend or power off? He did say "power off configured to suspend" I would not go back to home screen (if you press "home" more than once, it closes background apps, so not sure what it does with background recordings). If you are planning to put it in suspend, then may as well leave it in the LiveTV app and hit suspend. Edited February 19 by Emporium 1 Quote
dishuser Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I can go to home screen and then press live tv button and it's still recording Quote

Dougie Posted February 19 Posted February 19 1 minute ago, dishuser said: are you exiting before going to home page? Not sure what you mean. I press the record (red) button, wait until messages confirm recording has started appear, and then press the Home key. Soon after this a message appears to say the recording is finished. Quote
dishuser Posted February 19 Posted February 19 when you go to home screen is channel playing in top right corner I just went to home screen 5 times and recording is still going Quote
Emporium Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Can you post what version of Firmware and Software you are running ? Just to make sure you are running the latest versions, and you are not for some odd reason stuck at an older version. Software version you can easily find if you press the menu button when watching LiveTV, and it is at the bottom V5.0.xxx. Firmware you can find in the Updates screen V202xXXYY Quote

Unfortunately, not always on the main updates page. Which is why I typically say to check the bottom of the menu. Example on my X5 AX-C.. The release notes of the last firmware update, take up most of the area (I like to see release notes), you'd have to go and then scroll down (and I honestly didn't check if it says it further down - I assume it does)..

I figured out a work around for those experienceing the same problem as me when trying to record a program in progress. While watching the program, click on the Menu button and select PVR function. Click on Scheduled Recordings Select Create Manual Recording Scroll down to Channel name and choose the channel to record. Notice the current program will automatically populate into the Program name field Adjust the Start time one or two minutes forward (i.e. past the current time). Adjust the end time to when the program ends. Click on Save. Click on Home key Power off STB and TV. I hope this helps. Quote
