HI guys still cant crack this i have changed file paths but still same starting to think hard drive could be problem would it help to go to ext4 ?

[judge]

No issues what so ever with recording on the TM2T here, however I did format the HDD in the box using the VIX image, so it is ext4.
What image are you using & why did you change the recording paths?

[leechy]

just trying diffrent things as it says its recording comes up on screen but go to file and its just black hard drive is new western digital

Can you view the channel that's making the recording but showing up blank?
What image are you using?

[leechy]

im using vix the channel is viewable but the recording isnt if you press record on the channel it will record its when you use timer

[judge]

Are you using 2 feeds? if so, have you checked they both work? what's your tuner config? what build no. of VIX?
You really need to provide as much detail as possible if you want help, otherwise, we are just guessing.

2 feeds, build 482, both feeds work toneburst.

First thing I'd do is update to a recent build.
Build 545 is available here.

thanks i will give that a go

I set a timer on the TM2T earlier when you brought this up, watching a different channel when it kicked in.
Now watching the recording, it worked perfectly.
This was on build 545.
If your update doesn't sort your issue out, post up your tuner configuration.

Hi i think it might be when you set recording straight from epg tried a recording from red button single epg and it worked fine from epg it failed

all recordings working fine here on the TM2T, no matter how I set them.
If you are now on build 545 or higher, did you restore a settings back-up?
You still haven't posted your tuner config, so still impossible to see if anything is wrong there...
Other than that, fresh flash. Set-up from scratch, format the HDD in the box, then report back if you still have issues.
I can't fault the TM2T in any way for live TV recordings.
Don't think it's ever failed me.

tuner config is toneburst on a fixed dish but i have tried it on single both with same result
