    NGRAB, mounting harddrive,

    I have a couple of questions.

    I managed to get NGRAB working which was all good, but i thought with a Dreambox 600 you can record and watch another channel but i was unable to. Everytime i changed channels it stoped recording.

    Well anyway i thought i mount to a harddrive on my PC, i did this and it said sucessful, however i cannot seem to record to it, also what types of files can i play from my PC onto the dreambox i have tried serveral formats but it cannot seem to find anything to play.

    Anyone able to offer any advice.

    You cannot record one channel and watch another channel unless it is on the same transponder.

        when u record and check the channels u will see only a few there , there the only ones u can watch m8 .

        this is why l have 2 boxes and l use the upstairs box to record to and l can still watch on the downstairs box because there mounted to the same drive on the pc

          ok i dont seem to get an option i do the follwoing.

          ON TV Channel press Yellow key and then i click start NGRAB.

          Or i can push red and record by EPG.
          However how do i know what other channels can I watch.

          Do i go to providers and select the one thats default e.g. Nopig_140 for S*y Sports 1. I take it if theres nothign else in there i cannot watch it.

          If i have recordings on PC how do i play them on Dreambox and plus since ive mounted a harddrive how do i record to there. I can only seem to record by Ngrab.

              Oh well mines different then, when i go in it shows all channels then when i click on it says "A recording is currently in progress, this stopes the recording" Yes and No option. That's when i try to change channel.

              It's a Dreambox 600 maybe they are all different.

                  ok well i do this. I am in TV mode and i press RED to get into EPG. I then select Yellow to record a channel and press green to apply. A red timer then comes up over channel however i can see all still in EPG view. I can change channel there and it just stops recording.


                  If i press exit and then down arrow i can still see all channels, maybe its becuase im using a different image, im using. pli-iolite-dm600pvr-20071230-4014.nfi

                    strange that mines a pli image . when l open the Bouquets say in the fta one theres only 4 or 5 channels and not the 20 that was there before ? ..

                    will have a play tomorrow . but l have a harddrive in mine but done use it as l find recording to my mounted drive on the pc is better

                              Hi cheers.

                              I tried to mount one with your settings but i twould not let me, pics attached.

                              On the Options screen prompt i do not get the same option, only read and write. Also as i mounted one before when i mount this i receive this error.

                              Any ideas what to do next ?
