Hi guys can anyone help me with this question.

When using the PVR function on the openbox I can record FTA channels without any issues.

However when I record on a Sly Channel the openbox just replays a black screen.

It also happens with the pause button, everything is ok on FTA channels but as soon as I try to pause a Sly channel nothing happens.

Any help appreciated.

Well ive worked it out, sort off.

I used the Channel editor to remove the $ symbol that was placed before the channel name, so instead of having $SLY 1 I wanted SLY1.

It is for some reason the removal of the $ symbol that prevents the openbox from recording or pausing the channel, by going back in and editing a a handful of channels with $ I can now record and pause again. But on the remaining Sly channels that dont have $ I record just a black screen.

Can anyone else confirm that removal of the $ prevents recording of subscription channels?
