    My genuine Starview 4 PVR box does not record on to the 500Gb USB harddrive anymore.I have recorded loads of programs which can still be accessed and viewed from the hdd but it will not record anything anymore.
    I have tried substituting the hdd with my neighbour who also has Starview 4 Box and it records on his system o.k.
    When I press record on the remote, screen says "Info recording INIT" and the box displays "rec" for about 1 second then reverts back to normal without recording. mmmh! Any help will do.
    Thanx

    The recording function will not work with 1.10 or the later beta version.

    If you're in the UK it would be best to go back to 1.07; if you're in Ireland you'll have to lump it for now unfortunately.

    The Starview 4 USB is a PVR mate.

    The SV4 is advertised as a PVR.

    It's been a well known bug that since 1.10 the epg has not been good and you can't record using the epg scheduler.
    I can use the epg to record - beause I reverterd back to 1.07 (I'm in the UK).
