cannot record more than 2 channels

[ccs]

that makes no difference here.

The OP has had the box for a couple of months, he may not have realised it was running a very old release of VIX.

@Birdman, once in channel list, press the Menu button. This then activates Channel List Context Menu.

You can then move, delete, add, rename services to the bouquet.

If this is in response to #35 then I was really asking where the code is that implements it all.

The age age of the image had no bearing what so ever on the op's question nor solution.

... but he might not have realised how old the version of VIx was that he was using.
Some people prefer to keep up-to-date. That's his choice to make.

The age of the image has nothing what so ever to do with the op's issue. First diagnose the issue then try a image upgrade. A image upgrade on its own would have not helped in this instance at all.

lets see if this post gets deleted.

... hopefully it will be.

Why would a post that is constructive be moved?

There is nothing wrong with the post by LarryG. He is correct, the image in use has nothing to do with the OP's issue.

Most of the thread has nothing to do with the OP's issue either.

Because 10 seconds prior to that post being made some one deleted my other post I had just made in this very thread.

He seemed to think there was, so I was agreeing with him.

There doesn't appear to be a solution to the OP's problem yet either.

There is, get a third tuner.

 

[ccs]

There is, get a third tuner.

In a round about way, yes.
The OP said " ....and still cannot record 2 channels and watch another?" after trying for over 2 months.
He must have been very unlucky with the combination of channels he was trying to record and watch.
I guess the fact that he's never replied suggests that he had been unlucky.

Indirectly it does.
It's unlikely that anyone who can help will be running a 3.1 image, or anything close to it. So no-one will be in a position to look into possibilities.

 

[abu baniaz]

It is not a round about way. Has nothing to do with luck.

A tuner allows you to tune to a frequency/transponder. If you have two tuners, you can only tune to two of those. Irrespective of how many services there are on those frequencies/TPs.

N.B.
A single tuner receiver can record more than one channel at a time. Obviously same limitation applies.

It does not. The limitations/deciding factor is are whatis on the TP/Frequency. No matter what image you use, that won't change.

I would call "unlucky" the OP using a box for over 2 months and not been able to record 2 channels and view a third, when, under certain circumstances it does work.

I'm amazed that the simple statement that 3.1 is an old image can cause such negative comments.
The OP has only had the box for 2 months, so surely it's in his own interest to be advised that he is currently using software which is no longer available to download.

 

[abu baniaz]

So if he uses a more recent images, his luck will improve? Somehow the new image will move the service onto different transponders?

You are right, he will benefit from using a more recent image. But that won't solve his problem.

1.
Number of tuners with signal wires = number of transponders/frequencies you can access (number of channels varies on these). FBC tuners and unicable LNBs are a different issue

2.
EPG = EPG
Bouquets = Bouquets

The fact that they interact with each other does not nullify this fact. My child puts her lunch box in her bag. When she gets the lunch box, she has to get her bag. When she gets her bag, her lunch box is in there. Does that mean we should accept lunch box = bag?

The people who insist on confusing others by mixing the two terms should run the tests specified for them to dispel the misunderstanding they have.

There is nothing more to add.

 

[ccs]

You are not reading my posts - not surprising I guess.

If the answer to the question "Is it technically possible to record 2 programmes and watch a 3rd" is
"Yes, but it will depend on which transponders you're using"

then I say for the very last time that he must have been very unlucky to have tried for over 2 months but on every occasion had used 3 different transponders (because that is why it wouldn't have worked).

I am reading your posts. They were not applicable.

If you have an issue with me, report the matter to Admin.

Funny how there now inappropriate after I left the "team" even though I have been making the same damn posts for over 5 years.
