Ive just recived one of these and it looks like a great bit of kit but does anyone know how to use the loop through cable? its not even mentioned in the manual I take it its something to do with allowing you to watch one channel and record another
Hi Yes the loop through is quite straight forward, the PVR version has two tuners to be able to record two different channels to the hard disc so your first main input from you supplier goes into the Cable 1 Input then you need a short cable to go between cable one loop output to cable two input jbvid
Thats great and just to clarify does that mean I ignore the manual which says to put the main cable into the ANT IN connector and just put it straight into the Cable 1 Input?
Yes ignore that, the manuals arn't always right, other input is for your rooftop type tv channels aerial. Not tried that myself yet so I don't know what it will pick up but buttons on remote have TV/Sat/vcr/aux/stb. I will try it and see. jbvid
Can someone explain to me after you record on one channel and you want to play it back how do you get it to play back in full screen Also i have put a splitter in and split of the main cable to the box so it has 2 direct feeds going to it instead of using the loop cable seems to work no bother just cant get the full picture after the recording has finished only small viewing box on the right hand side thanks
Hi Yes, Press HDD on the remote, then select the recording you wish to view then press ok, works fine for me. Try a short cable between the two cable tuners (loop cable) at the back and make sure you are in the correct ones as its easy to get into wrong socket (there are 6 sockets at the rear, confusing) This must be your problem. You will also reduce your signal strength using splitters. jbvid
