Having a bit of a problem with my new (to me) Foxsat HDR.
It's only got one LNB, which may have caused the problem.
I had set up some recordings last Wednesday evening as we were going out. I'd chosen them so there was no overlapping of times. Just as we were about to go out at nearly 10 minutes to 8 something came on that I wanted to record for my wife so I hit the record button hoping for an instant record of the last 10 minutes before the scheduled recordings started.
The recording started but instead of showing 8 minutes to record it showed 68 minutes to record. This would possibly clash with what I wanted so I tried to find out how to manually change the length of my instant recording. It's probable that there is a way but I couldn't find it so we went out.
When I came back the 8 minute instant recording was 68 minutes long and the 8:00pm scheduled recording had failed due to a clash with a higher priority.
I watched the 8 minutes and tried to delete it and couldn't, the box then locked up on me. I unplugged it and tried to then delete the zero length failed recoding. Again it siezed up.
Now, when I even try to enter the media section it says "please wait" and the sound and vision continues behind. Then the vision siezes and sound continues. Then, if I haven't given up and unplugged again, it'll eventually stop altogether and reboot itself.
I'm not sure what the next step is. If I do a factory reset will this leave the recordings intact? Will it even do any good?
