i wouldnt by from ebay i got mine from MAXKING.co.uk site doesnt sell clones mine arrived after a couple of days was easy to set up cost about £140 with the hard drive and free delivery also yes the recording element works when flashed has about a 30 second delay when recording but it records best to use the timer function

ordered one last monday got it wednesday

30 second delay?

So the pause feature - does that have a delay ?

I have one of these & it is rubbish as the PVR function doesn't work, the box keep rebooting and programs that you do manage to record disappear.

These boxes seem to be hit and miss, does anyone know if this depends on the manufacturer for the hard drive?

Have you tried reading up within this forum?

It may just be that your firmware is out of date.

I have similar problems. Unit keeps saying "hard drive not installed or full" . I have removed the power cable and hard drive and reinstalled and it works for a day . I had 5% showing on the recorder one evening and the next morning it was showing empty (all recordings gone). It shows "rec" when I press the button but sometimes does not save the recording. Its a seagate hard drive.Anyone able to offer a solution ?.

Hi. I have the ex5000 and the pvr bit is rubbish. It is the same as other people have said and so far I can't find a fix for it. the eurovox is good just don't bother with the hard drive.
Good luck.

Does anyone know if these problems are consistent with hard disk manufacturer or size, it seem strange for these boxes to be so hit and miss, I've had the same problem with 1.0 & 1.1a.

I'm hoping the EX5100 PVR upgrade has iradicated these faults.

Was this just a software upgrade and if so I wonder if this available anywhere ? .
