pvr

We have a SKY subscription so that we can continue to use the SKY box as a PVR. We have a satellite dish, decent broadband but no terrestrial aerial. Not against getting an aerial but I'd prefer not to. We have subscriptions to Prime, Netlix, Now, Disney+ and probably some other stuff and we...

Hi I have recently purchased new TV no scart lead for the pvr recorder so purchased an HD video convertor followed instructions but nothing working, I've noticed the power button remains red and wondered if anyone has one of these boxes, should it be green light? Very frustrating as I k ow...

I currently have an older Vestel made Toshiba TV. It's a 32" HD. It's adequate enough, blacks aren't great at all, but when you watch TV, you don't have another TV to compare to! The key problems with it are: It doesn't play nicely with our Humax HDR 1800T - if you turn the TV and then the...

Samsung Smartthings Hub V2 - £35 - Boxed in excellent condition bar a few scuffs underneath. Purchased March 2020. Will also throw in a Samsung Smarthings Moisture Sensor (boxed) WD AV-25 1TB Internal Hard Drive - £30 - Brown boxed & working perfectly, had it in my BT YouView PVR until I...

Hi. Hope someone might have a few pointers. I've been living with a nightmare neighbour who for over 7 years has delighted in slamming the front door (immediately opposite, heavy mdf composite, communal hall area so vv loud) constantly at all hours of the day and night. Everyone hates him but...

I'm looking for a new PVR recorder that won't break the bank or draw too much power - so looking for something that uses USB storage rather than built-in HDD. I'm not happy with what I've seen thus far, which is very basic brandless boxes. Is there anything good that's preferably Android...

I recently bought a replacement (an AU8000) for my 2016 Samsung TV and was surprised to find that Samsung only offers the common "USB Recording" feature on their more expensive TVs since 2019 and it's now called Extended PVR. My 2016 TV cost slightly less than the model I bought this year so it...

I had a Samsung SMT-7800 freesat recorder box and it's been great for years. Just recently however I noticed a 'HDD not ready' message pops up when I try to either record a programme or access the hard drive of recordings. I just swapped in a new 1TB Seagate HDD but am still getting the HDD...

(I think I posted this in the wrong forum originally) Hi there. My old trusty Panasonic DMR-EX77 threw a bit of a wobbly last Saturday. For all TV stations there was just a black screen with no sound. In addition, the TV guide never came up when the handset button was pressed. Before I went to...

Hi there. My old trusty Panasonic DMR-EX77 threw a bit of a wobbly last Saturday. For all TV stations there was just a black screen with no sound. In addition, the TV guide never came up when the handset button was pressed. Before I went to bed I left it in standby as usual. I didn't hang...

I have purchased a refurbished 5000T from Humax, and I'm very pleased with it. I can access the recordings I have made over the network on my desktop PC (Windows10) but unable to access the live TV and EPG etc on it, all of which I can do via apps for both my Android devices and Apple devices...

After having many boxes under my TV, I'm trying to combine as many boxes into a couple therefore eliminating my mess of cables behind the tv. I may be chasing the dragon, but are there any brands which combine both a freeview pvr and also 4k uhd blur Ray playing + dolby vision support? After...

Hello everyone, This is my first post here so please excuse me if I'm in the wrong place... I just want some advice on setting up a satellite dish but with some... 'restrictions'? I recently got a old Sky+ (non HD) PVR off of someone who was throwing it out but at my house we've never had Sky...

Back in the day I had one of the early freeview Humax recorders, and one of the many features I loved was that I could easily look at the list of recorded programmes while watching live TV (or another recorded programme), and I could check the live TV schedules while watching a recording (or a...

Hi, I’m moving away from sky after 20 years and I’m after a Freeview play box. I’m also after some advice... I’m picky about how loud a box is in terms of spinning disks, fans etc. I’ve done my research but obviously, someone’s “whisper quiet” is someone else’s boiling kettle. Can anyone...

Hi, I'm running a Mac mini 2014 with an auto starting virtual machine (VirtualBox VM) running Ubuntu. Ubuntu runs the tvheadend (tv streaming and recorder) software (and picks up the two usb dvb dual tuners). So I have Freeview over network so can watch on a Kodi clients on iMac, and tvheadend...

I have read elsewhere (cannot find link) that BT users that purchase the entertainment pack provided by Now TV will see all Now TV channels in the EPG and can directly record to PVR but users who subscribe to Now TV through Talktalk or Plusnet can only see Now TV channels via the PVR app (like...

Have mastered the PVR control ok. Question: can I watch TV from a sky box whilst using the PVR to record?

recently bought LG 32LM6300 - connected it to our Panasonic HDD & DVD recorder - recordings work fine but if a recording finishes when the TV is on standby the TV automatically switches on - is there a way to avoid this apologies if this has been covered before - if it has please direct me to...

Hi have connected Manhattan t3 to LG oled tv and haven’t noticed the normal screen saver kicking in after 2mins if a static image is left on screen. I am using the pvr for all functions such as freeview. Is this normal as I am worried that I or someone else may leave a programme paused for...
