Big trouble with recordings via timer /epg

[kanwar]

The multi recording has definitely been fixed since VIX image 678. However, in the last couple of days I am having problems again with recordings put on at night being blank (standby issue). I am using VIX latest unstable releases.

Thanks for the heads up, RL73, I will try the new 4d image released 7th June. I am hoping it will fix the PTS issue I am currently having with VIX too.

I will update you guys as to how it goes.

Fingers crossed.

Kanwar/all, FYI. Still getting blank recordings even with the 4d image although does seem much better. One failed recording over 2 weeks which was on 5HD and was a single recording. Totally random as to when it will happen. I put my brother on to a Venton from site sponsor and he's had no problems. Would never touch a TM again. Mainly bought it for the RF out.

Does the new 4d image give you any permanent timeshift issues, RL73?

Don't use pause facility much but haven't noticed any problems.

I put a timer recording on yesterday and it only recorded 5 minutes of the program and the rest of the recording was blank. I'm using the latest open Vix image, not pleased with this box at all.

 

[mkhan]

Did three timer recordings today of which two of them were fine and one had no audio but recorded. I hope TM sort this problem I brought this receiver for the main viewing but will move to the bedroom and stick to the duo for now.

Another thing about this box I noticed it opens channels a lot slower compared to my duo which is quite fast and can be annoying when zapping through channels.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Pease state the image & build number when reporting any issues.

Can't say I have, channel zapping seems just as fast as any Duo I've used.
Are you using the same channel listings on both boxes, are you using a cam? if so, which one & is it the same on both boxes?

I'm using the latest Vix image build 683 on both receivers with same channel list and softcam cccam 2.2.1.

How are you generating the channel lists on both boxes & are you using single or multiple sats?
Never tried Cccam 2.2.1 on my Twin but lots of others obviously do.
Personally, I use 2.3.0 & never have any issues in this area.

On the twin I'm using single channel list however the same issue occurs with multiple channel list as well. I will give 2.30 ago but I don't think it's a softcam issue I have the same cam on the duo. The fta channels open normally it's the encrypted channels where the delay occurs in opening.

 

[judge]

So, you have a card to decrypt the encrypted channels in both boxes?
Somehow doubt it (sorry if I'm wrong), so can only presume it's down to a network or cs issue & something we will not discuss here.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Its neither a network or cs issue as I said there are no reported issues with the duo using same setup. This issue is annoying but I'm not too fussed about it my main worry is the recording which fails sometimes and hope this is sorted asap.

Have TM come up with any decent drivers yet.

Hi

I'm still sitting on build 678. Just wondering if this issue has been resolved in any of the later builds at all?

 

[Daysleeper]

Oops, sorry, should've posted the above on the "glitching on HD channels" thread, but the question remains pertinent to both

No it hasn't. Just installed 702 with immediate blank recording.

 

[Daysleeper]

Hmm, thanks. I appreciate that it's a TM issue, and not a Vix one. It would be nice if Technomate sorted this at some point.

Well there is more backwards then forward with the last drivers, i do not know but drivers i got on 14.05.13 are the most stable drivers i have to date. i got some drivers on 19.07.13 but they was just not good so im back to the stable driver.

Im disapointed with this progress, as why cant they fix this problem, all other boxes with Enigma2 and based on MIPS do not have this problem with the recordings. Im back on using the Xtrend 9500 HD and it is a marvel to use this box. IT JUST WORKS

I hope TM can come up with something sooner then later before they make all of uss live them.



cheers

I have tried the latest images i find the first few timers works fine then you start to get the blank screen on recordings, box rebooting on timer startups channels glitching freezing you are watching while timers are on progress etc. Latest vix images first 4 or 5 timers work then these problem kicks off. Back dated to the vix feb update and the box did seem to handle the timers better did 13 timers with around 9 timers recordings ok playback took a few secs to kick in but did work.

Anyone using a back dated image that works well for timers and pvr or are they all faulty?
