Hello
I have had a Humax FOXSAT HDR for around 2-3 months now.
Dish was professionally installed but I have put an eight way lnb onto it.
Twin cable runs from this to the HDR.
I've had a number of failed recordings that I've scheduled - some have the broken icon, others read 0 minutes, some don't appear at all in the media list.
Having read thru some other posts, I think I can troubleshoot these away.
One problem has happened twice now however - to do with watching a program that is being recorded.
The most recent was a scheduled program (Primeval last Saturday on ITV1). It indicated that it had started recording. HDR was on a different channel. Switched to ITV1 about a minute or so before the recording finished.
Called up the media list and Primeval was there showing 60mins. Playback however only showed the last 2 mins from where we switched to ITV1.
Previous incident was a situation where we tried to watch the recording from it's startpoint before it had finished. Primeval again. End result the HDR only captured the program up to the point where we started watching it - ie we started watching 18mins into the recording which was due to capture 60 mins...our viewing stopped after 18mins, remaining 40 mins not recorded.
I'd gotten the impression that watching while recording was possible.
Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance
