Hi there,
I'm using the DM900C and am having some problems with the Timer function.
This function basically allows you to change channels at preset times, which is what I need when going overseas and having to pre-set recordings for different channels at different times.
The Timer function comes with 6 timer slots (meaning I can only change it 6 times within any given period). This is not an issue.
However, what is an issue is that after using the Timer function for the first time for any particular slot, say Slot 1, I am no longer able to change the month anymore.
For example, if today, I decide to use Slot 1 for the first time in December and set the date, say 13 December 2010. This works fine and as planned. However, if next month (ie today, Jan 2010), I try to use Slot 1 again, it will default back to the date I last used, which is 13 December 2010.
Clicking on "OK" in my remote whilst at the date field works to bring up the calendar, but I can only change the date, not the month! I've tried all buttons on my remote but cannot find any way to change the month.
The curious thing is that if I now decide to use Slot 2 (which was never used before), it works! Because Slot 2 was never used before, the default date starts at 13 January 2010 (ie todays date and month) and I can set the date.
However, the same problem will occur when February comes.
At this time, I am down to my last 2 slots out of 6 and this is running out fast. Hopefully someone can help me out of this dillemma.
I've considered activating the Factory Reset menu item but am wondering whether I will lose all my channels in doing so. As I'm a beginner in the world of cable-boxes, this will not be ideal as I will not know how to get them back.
Ideally, we can find a solution to the Timer function problem set out above.
Thanks in advance!
