Peter Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I've tried recording a couple shows and they appear to record but when I click to watch I get bounced back to the main screen. Is there more instructions or an I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Then what is the 64GB internal storage for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think I have this solved. I can record to both external and internal storage. I think it was a schedule issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbs. Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I thought I heard they were disabling recording to internal There are plenty of uses for storage besides recording Glad it's going for you anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will allow recording for now on the 4000 + 4500s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am pretty confident we won't change it on the 4500 The issue on our older models, was it had about 4GB of Free Space, without any apps installed If a user recorded just 3-4 Hours of Live TV, the box would have 0MB left Then not work properly and also unable to take updates and users would blame it on the box. With 64GB you have about 50-60 Hours of Recording to the Internal Storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah I figured. Best reserve a few gigs for updates in the OS. Easy to do and you won't scare users. I've had a few boxes now and really like this one. I've never used recording until trying the other night which failed. But I have it worked out.

Offwego Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Any recommendations on what type of external storage is preferable. Speed etc would be of interest. Thanks. Also, I see that the record function on the XRS 4500 is still pretty primitive. And chance we'll see repetitive programming and auto-delete after a specified number of program records? I hate to say it but much like a PVR/DVR on dish or Bell provided. It's hard to give up some things? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plans to add a lot more features to PVR This includes what you mentioned. This will take time though, as it is a lot of work So we have no set date when this will be available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
