PVR ISNT RECORDING

[Njscan]

Emporium, thanks

im asking my provider, but im not even able to record what im watching.

Ok so it appears that they only support MAC, which is why no login or PW. Need to look for new provider. Any suggestions that might offer a preview so I can check it out first?

I know they did.. But maybe they assumed it was internal, just because they had not installed anything else.  Don't recall if the box was at one time configured to record to a USB, and then that USB is no longer available, does it fall back to internal, or N/A ?  I'd have to test it, I don't recall.  But that is why I sked to check and confirm.

There is no discussions about specific services in this forum.  This is a buzz support forum.

When you hit the record button when watching a show, do you get any messages ?  Errors, popups, red "rec" icon on top right ? anything ?

If I do a manual recording I get the screen where I can manually enter the channel and recording duration info. Been bouncing e mail with him this evening and he will refresh the acct in a bit. His BUZZTV box is recording, but he acknowledges that it’s only a scheduled recording or what I’m watching. Not both, only MAC support

OK.. When watching TV, press Menu button on remote.  Got to Settings-?configuration and near the bottom you will have an option that says something like "one touch record".  Enable that.  Then go back to your Live TV, and as you are watching, hit the record button.  Do you get a red "REC" icon on the top right ?  

Only other thing I can thing of, is that possible the BuzzTV 5 permissions got mangled and it does not have permission to access "files".  I'm not in front of my box right now (so going from memory), but to check, from the home screen, you'd have to go to the settings icon on the top right, go into settings, then something like Apps, find BuzzTV 5, click on it, and then click on permissions.  And there should be an option in there for files and/or storage.  That permission should be enabled.  If it is not, it will not be able to write to the internal storage.

Ah ha, so back in the beginning of this thread I commented that when I first got the box I got a message about permission to access files. Never saw that again, and that’s when the problem started. So it’s an option to change permissions?

Go into device settings, apps, buzz, and enable storage permission. Try recording again
