Hi there new to this place just wondered whats the difference between the old firmware and the new with regards to the pause button thing. i.e. pros and cons as old firmware is working ok. i have no hdd yet so can't use pause \ time shift function

[satsmo]

Changes time shift, (live pause), from play button to pause button thats it.

just making up my 5 posts so i can get the latest firmware,is that all that has changed,really sucks that when recording from epg u only get so many channels to watch until your recording is finished,not to mention epg always records after the program has started so always miss the start

You cant copy whats on the eurovox hard drive and watch them on the pc so i would think you cant do it the other way round either.Maybe in the future !

if u want to copy to the pc u can ? just remove and then connect to a remote drive caddy 2.5" USB 2.0 HDD External Enclosure/Caddy for LAPTOP on eBay, also, Hard Disk Drive Cases, Laptop Accessories, Computing (end time 16-Jul-08 18:37:58 BST)

the eurovox pvr uses a different file/Partition system to a windows PC, so you can't view recorded programs on your PC - Windows reports the drive as un-allocated storage space and won't read it, if you let windows initialize the drive, you will lose all your recordings.

I havent tried this but if it is correct then perhaps there wil be a program or sw to correct this in the future or perhaps a linux system will be able to read it

why does every seller in this case of the eurovox pvr5000 say that u can connect it to pc to share media to burn to disc etc,must be simple enough or its false advertisement

if thats the case its put me of getting one .. why have a harddrive u can flip out in a second ? not clever that

[dougiej1983]

so just to confirm the latest firmware only changes a button switch,so no big deal if i don't update now?

I have a problem with the channel manager as when i edit it quite a lot ie remove dead channels ,duplicate channels ,god and gay channels and removed some of the audio voiceovers.Once saved i open up dnupman again to resend the new channel listings i get a box mfc application has stopped working.If i upload the channel listing again i get the same,it only lets me in to edit the channels again when i have done a full scan or used the origional file from first scan.I can sometimes edit a few channels and its ok but do a few more and it locks me out again with the error.Any ideas as to why it does this or have a work around.It may be nice to be able to edit the audio channels from the box as you do the channels or have a button on the remote as per the old eurovox to change adio channel.Maybe somebody has an updated cdf file for ex c&w manchester that has already been edited that might work.Gonna try editing with xp later in case its a problem with vista.....
