hi karl me again mate which recordin programe do i put on the box thats in that link u gave me ??? thers 2 there mate and thanks again

 

Hi Karl

Progs for viewing work fine, do you know of any good ones for converting to DVD?

 

hi lads which programme do i put on wats the name please ??

 

You don't need any extra program put on the box to be able to record.

The programs Karl has recommended above are to watch your recording on your PC. GOM player works well.

You can always watch your recordings on your TV via the box itself.

Press menu select USB and then select the file, the box will then replay it.

What I'm looking for is a program to convert the .ts file onto DVD.
If anyone can recommend one I'd appreciate it as I've tried a few following a Google search and they just don't do it.

Have you tried converting from MPEG2 rather than just .ts

 

can i record programmes from my usb box to external hard drive from the tv channels ???

 

yes just hit the rec button on the lower half of the remote.if you want to watch what you have recorded just hit the hdd button on the remote and hilight the file you want to watch and hit ok to watch.

 

cheers lads thanks alot for ur help appreciated

 

The file is a .ts file I need a prog to convert it.

 

Yes but .ts is MPEG2 in this case

 

hi lads me again lol is there a way of recording from the epg or setting a timer for a programme ?? with the externel hard drive ??

 

Yes go into the epg, select the prog you want and press the red button.
That should do it for you.

BTW Sc0user I still can;t convert from the .ts file to DVD using nero with all plugins and the klite codec pack, what do you recommend?

 

thanks pip mate dats handy cheers

 

No probs

 

hi lads the epg is gone off my box but workin on my box upstairs if i do a factory reset will this bring it back ?? as i want to record from the epg thanks....
