technomate 5402hd how to record

[Nutsandbolts]

Hi. You have patch 117 at the moment why dont you try latest patch 118 to see if it works. Have you tried to record a non HD channel? Also worth checking out the TM site for any fixes for your box. Regards.

Ok just to clear up any confusion. I have recorded hd channels on 4 gb usb stick, usb powered 500gb seagate, 80gb old internal in a caddy mains powered and mains powered 1tb iomega. All formatted to fat 32 with easeus partition master, usb stick freezes sometimes but I am putting that down to it being the poor write speed as it cost about 50p. There have been absolutely no glitches or issues with any of the hdd, time shift also works perfectly, I have latest 117 original firmware with 118 phantom patch and 002 addon, so if you can't get your 5402 to record, you are doing something wrong

I concur the above, used numerous size usb/hdd and never an issue.

5402 HD recording

I seem to have a problem on my 5402HD with the record function
it is OK for a while then I it wont/cant record or playback.
The only way I can get it working again is to turn the receiver off at the main switch on the back and then back on again which seems to reset everything and it works fine again for a while.
This has been like this for some months now and despite loading new tm software the fault still occurs?? any cures please

what kind of usb device and did you format it in the usb>diskmanager menu in your tm and what patch/firmware are you on?

[Jet48]

Im using a hard drive formatted in disc manager and phantom patch 124p
