so in this case, is the connector or cable badly squeezed? that can result in data problems.

maybe you can do a test run with the cables loose and hdd out of the casing to see if the recording and playback is good.

Ok tested.... the cable is not so tight... and still hangs during playback. I think my hdd spec(7200,750gb) is too high for the box hdd comms...

maybe the cable already damaged. you got another spare sata cable to try with?

and i agree that 7200rpm is a waste and overkill to use in a PVR.

did you try another recording then playback? maybe the original recording is corrupted....

I tried 3 recording all same symptom... playback hang.... looking at the files size recorded... the recording seems successful... I will try to initialize and resetup....

to check if the recorded file is good, you can try to play it using VLC player from the web interface or Dreambox live software using ipad/iphone.

Have u formatted the hdd to fat32 and create a movie folder on the hdd? If same problem, can try out with different image.

I got an extra brand new set of 800HD to let go as my friend does not want it anymore. He is moving to a rented property. Not convenient to use it.

Those interested can pm me

Ya will try out openpli and cgnima this weekend..... Thks bro...

I think is a problem either with the media player s/w or CPU overloaded...... when transferred the file to PC... no issue with the playback on PC

At the back of your PC u can find it it's something like VGA port but 9 pin if more than 9 it's not com port, if new notebook or pc with window 7 mostly did not have this port only window XP below will have it
Heed advise from senior DB traitor u won't go wrong

If your new PC do not come with a Com Port 9-pin, here is another alternative (which is my case, here to HELP everyone, in case you need it.)
1) Open up your PC, check if the Mother Board has a Com Port slot to be plucked in. If have, then go to (2)
2) Buy a
Serial 9 pin DB9 RS232 Motherboard Com Port Ribbon Cable Connector Bracket
Sample source at Ebay, sg:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/300635306...84.m1439.l2649
Then, you will have a Com Port for just SG$2.50.
Next Step, go to SL to buy a Com Port Null (Crossed / Twisted) Modem cable - $5. So all in less than SG$8 solved the case, cheap-cheap

The good points with this solution are:
a) Because it is a hardware attached to Mother Board, it should work with whatever OS your are using, be it Win 7 64bit or 32Bit
b) You do not need to buy a USB-Com Serial 9Pin adapter, which can be very expensive - >$20++
c) You DO NOT have compatiblity issue for item (b), as most market adapters do not work with Win7. Only few good brands work, like ATEN UC-232A, etc. Again, it is not cheap, i warn you first. Interested see, http://www.aten.com/USB-Converter.htm

Hope it does help, my frenz

Hi guys,

I was wondering how to back up your setting & keys before installing a new image. What program to use? Once the new image is loaded which are the files that need to be reloaded via FTP to enjoy previously installed keys and settings? thanks!

Hi anybody have tried recording with the Newnigma2 s/w, I tried from version 3.2.2 to 3.3.2, it caused my box s/w to crashed previously..... in 3.3.2 it can initalize the hdd but when recording it just show me zapped.... done.... when i press on the pvr button I cannot see any movie recorded

thanks

Ok went through the thick menu again.... see that the timer can be set to zap or record.... so i think i never change the timer setting to record... will try again and update

Got 2 DM800. Still on Newnigma2 v3.2.1. Used to have one of them with a 500GB SATA internal HDD. Keeps giving me problems. It can't detect the HDD after sometimes. Suspect it could be due to the power supply problem.

Since I have a SAMBA server with lots of TB of disk space, I decided to remove the harddisk from the DM800 and NFS mount the server harddisk to both the DM800 and send my recordings to the server. Never had problem since then. Also removed the heat problem due to internal harddisk in the DM800.

If you have a NAS at home, you can do that as well. Find the sticky thread for the HowTo.

BTW, someone mentioned that running the laptop harddisks 24x7 is bad. I agree. But I know that the DM800 spins down the harddisk when it's not in use after sometimes.

Cheers
