Recording in 1970?

[BillR]

I would like to setup some recordings but the “Date” field is pre-set to 1970? I have searched high and low but I can’t find any way to set it other than 1970. Why is the year actually relevant for this? I can’t believe we’re supposed to hold the scroll button down to go through 55 years of time! Is there a fix for this?

Is the time on your box actually set correctly ?  Typically it will auto set the time, but maybe the auto time settings didn't work (some ISP block certain destinations (NTP is rarely blocked, but sometimes you never know) ?

I just tried to set 2 manual recordings, and both ways (either from Main home page selecting PVR, or from LiveTV, selecting Menu and then PVR - which is essentially the same) and then selecting to create a new recording automatically filles in everything with the current date/time as start, and 1 minute later as the end time.  If you are doing this some other way, please provide details.

I know most people typically set up recording from the EPG, they just scroll, find the program they want in the future, and then press OK, which then prompts you if you want a reminder, to record, or return.

Check the time on your box, and if that is set correctly, please post your firmware and software version on your box (should be in the updates screen).

Yes, the system time/date is correct. I am trying to do a manual setup to record a show over a 5 day period. I create a manual recording by searching for the show and then select it in the list. Then I set the recording to record the show Monday thru Friday from 2 - 3 pm. When that is completed and I have saved the recording, when it minimizes, the recording time changes to 1 - 2pm. No matter what I do the time reverts back to 1 - 2pm. Then besides this when I tried to setup a single recording,this where I run into the problem with the year (1970) being set as the default. So in order for me to set the date I have to hold the up button to scroll thru 55 years worth of months. I really don’t think that is how it’s intended to work. I appreciate your help.

Have you tried changing date in settings?

Is it set to auto?

try it on another iptv app to rule out the issue is on server side

I’ve used the same server settings on two other iptv apps and they work fine. I have the system time set to auto. The regular time display is right on. It seems to me to possibly be a coding issue?

Like I said in my post, it works exactly expected on my P6, so we need to see what is triggering this behaviour.

Can you try manually setting the time on the box, just as a test, and see if you try to manually create a recording (through PVR menu [or from pvr option from main screen] select create new recording), what times it shows ?

If it was any coding issue every user would have the issue 

I suggest you reset
