I got a DTI6300-16 from my dad who no longer wanted it. Set it all up and it all seemed to work fine. I left it in standby for a while - a couple of weeks (!) as I have SKY plus and was going to sell it. When I tried it again, it all works fine UNTIL I plug an aerial in!! As soon as I plug the aerial in, the whole thing locks up and then start a cycle of rebooting every few minutes. If I...

Hi all. When something is currently recording I really struggle to play it from the start. I end up rewinding in 30s chunks. Dunno why, but hitting 'enter' or 'play' (the two usual buttons for playing from archive) seems to make no difference. What's the secret then? (Using MyStuff TAP and nothing else clever)

Me again. Sorry. Toppy keeps recording things that aren't set anymore, or aren't set at all. For example, we once had a CT for 'The Simpsons'. It has been deleted yet Toppy still records them It also records 'Time Team' and it has never had that set at all. I've searched the CT's and there's nothing in there sill like 'anything beginning with "time" etc....'

How is this done? Model is a Panasonic DVR550HX Cheers

Apologies if this is not exactly the correct ng for this query; couldn't find a more appropriate one. I had been asked to source a digital recording device for a training simulator that would capture from two thermal imaging cameras with composite output. One of the requirements was that it needed to have the ability to export footage in a format (mpeg, quicktime, windows media, etc) to provide...

I've transferred some pictures (as JPEGs) from my digital camera to a Panasonic DMR-EX77 by putting the SD card into the slot and copying the files onto the HDD. The picture size is 3648 x 2736 which is big but within the stated capabilities of the Panasonic. When the pictures are displayed they look like they're very low resolution or have been compressed too much in the JPEG process. When...

Quick question, is the content of an encrypted MPG stream any different from the content of a clear stream from a technical point of view? I.E. could you use a cheap digital PVR to record an encrypted stream without it complaining and then be able to stream it back via whatever CAM is required to allow access/viewing? I've got a daft idea rolling around in the back of my mind s'all... --...

I have a TVonics DVR-250 that is now a year old...this machine is pre Freeview Playback and has a problem in displaying the MHEG associated with BBC Radio channels. At times it will quickly decode the MHEG and I get the logos displayed and can gain full access to the BBCi menu as well as being able to utilise the BBCi screensaver by pressing 0. However ,mainly in the evening, the MHEG...

Any views on this ? dont need the top up angle - argos doing them for £99 Q) Are they noisy - fan ? Q) How easy to use for non techies ? sounds a good deal really

Hello all, I have one of these bought and it's still boxed. Ihave made the mistake of assuming this device had some sort of "series link" feature that enabled you to capture all episodes of the same show. I've done a little reading it now I'm really confused - Humax seemed to have talked this feature up at some point, in conjunction with an update to the Freeview standard (EPG Group...

Looking to finally dip my toe into the world of PVRs, but am a little befuddled as to what's available/useful/required, particularly for non-digital usage. My current setup: NTL (Ireland) analogue cable, which goes straight to my VCR. The VCR and my DVD player both have outputs to both my telly and my video sender box, allowing me to watch tv/video/dvd either on said telly, or on the...

I know it doesn't do quite what TiVo used to, but I was under the impression that there was a constantly recording buffer (when enabled in setup) and that I'd always be able to pause/rewind live TV. what actually happens is that Toppy just pauses and gets confused. I quite often then need to reboot it. I've got nothing other than MyStuff TAP loaded. Ideas anyone because it's being a bit of...

Hi, how do I record subtitles on my TIVO? Please be as detailed as possible, as I can be a bit dim as regards technology :)

Condition: You have to be on BT Total Broadband... http://www.btvision.bt.com/vision/whats_btv/whatitcosts.htm I'm recommending this to a neighbour on spec, but don't have experience of it myself. My neighbour (who is not young and has problems remembering sequences of remote control buttons to record, rewind a tape, change TV AV channel and press play.... yes, really) could probably do...

Further to the previous helpful thread could I ask if anyone is having problems switching between the tv and the tuner? My tv remote seemed disabled once the Nikkai was installed yesterday. I pressed the DTV/VCR button hoping for a result but since then button presses on the Nikkai remote will operate buttons on the tv remote. Flipping back and forth on the Nikkai will eventually see me have...

I am looking for something but I don't know what would best fit the bill! My company are currently using a digital PVR for monitoring purposes and the guy at the control room end of it sometimes needs to "Time-Slip" the recording at certain points and go back to double check matters in the interests of security. The PVR continues to record whilst he does his checks but the operators are...

as-per subject, which is the best cheap-end PVR that has a proper season-pass/link feature? Regards

I'm upgrading my hard drive. To keep existing programs I would like to clone the old drive using Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image or similar. PVRs use a totally non standard format (compared to computers) and I'm not sure if this will work. Anyone tried it? Richard

Hi. There seem to be two blocked off slots on my Toppy, and then two slots forPCMCIA cards. I'm a little confused. Having gone for the Setanta £1 for twomonths deal I've got nowhere to shove the card....:-( Can anyone help here please?
