A couple of noob questions in advance of receiving solo2 box

[CS10]

I would never say that, there are something like 40 plus satellite networks receivable from the uk and all have FTA channels, so even if sky uk goes off there will always be something to keep me interested in this hobby.

Cheers Pheonix, will this require me repointing my dish?
My issue is that I can only just get astra 28.2E due to being surrounded by trees.

yes you would need a motorized dish and maybe a chainsaw lol.

I wish I could chainsaw them down! TPO protects them.

So.... if it does happen, there will prob be a second hand solo2 box up for sale! lol

Morning, thanks for the replies both of you.

bubbleBalls - I have it set to 2 minutes either side of the recording.

judge - Deleted those ones I mentioned above as soon as I saw they were messed up.


Last night I tried a few more.

I set up a timer for WWE Vintage, the program started at 11.30pm and was on for an hour.
My hard drive shows it and says 64 mins, which is fine with the 2 minute bit either side.

This is the view on the hard drive.

This is when I'm playing it.

This is the timer log.

I also had two recordings going at once earlier than this - Only way is essex (for the wife, honest), and Pulp fiction.
When I looked at the box the recording sign was there so all was good, I looked at the hard drive and both titles listed there seemed to display the correct times. But then I tried to start watching essex from the start while it was recording and it seemed to reset both recordings.

When I play essex, it says there is 6 minutes, but there is nothnig recorded, just a black screen.

Any suggestions? Thanks everyone in advance. Really appreciate it.

This is the Exact same problem I have with a TM-2T, can I ask are you using an internal hdd or usb external?, I can view the recording after I hard reset the machine most of the time. A frustrating problem that hopefully we can get to the bottom of it.

[CS10]

I'm using an internal HDD.
I think it wasn't properly initialised, so I went through the instructions step by step, and its working absolutely fine now.

[scottmcroberts]

I will re-initialise (is that even a word...?) mine and let you all know how I get on. It's worth a go tried everything else
