BruceBucky Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have an XR4500 and I'm having issues with the pvr function. Sometimes it only records about 3 minutes and sometimes when I click on the recorded show it just won't play at all...and sometimes there's no recording listed at all. I'm trying to break free of my cable but unless I can record it's not happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceBucky Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) I now have the Beta 5 and still the pvr doesn't work. In one case it said it only recorded 1 minute (wouldn't play) and another try it said the full program was there but I got a message "media format not supported".

BruceBucky Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I switched the video player back to default....that worked. The PVR is still not working. I recorded a half hour show and when I checked it said said completed but it only had 2 minutes on it. When I hit play I get the message "no recordings found". In my PVR options for recording storage location the ONLY option is Internal Shared Storage.....no mention of the memory stick.
