Am I crazy or does this box have a mind of its own?

[cliff1946]

If I am recording a show or movie and leave to go watch something on a different system when I come back to the IPTV system it has stopped recording and gone back to the main menu, but if I leave it playing on the screen it will finish recording. What the HE--? Is there an adjustment or work around for this issue or is it just me?

no work around as soon as you switch it off from the tv it shuts it down

That happened with me the one time I tried it, was recording to a DVD just left it and was back on movie menu after 30min, recorded same movie from my DL android as have better image than with the mag254 1x3 cable, be nice to record to a USB device.

The Mag254 has a feature built into it to disconnect automatically when you turn your TV off. You can even set a delay before it disconnects.
Go into "Settings", "Video", "HDMI event reaction" to set it or disable it.

Setting the "HDMI event reaction"to IGNORE seems to have solved the problem. Thanx very much.

thanks will try that now can i use a solid state hard drive to copy or to new for that

Don't know. I am using a Magnavox HDD DVR and it works great.

Oops made a mistake. Setting the "HDMI event reaction"to IGNORE did not solve the problem, but setting it for IMMEDIATELY seemed to.

just a bystander.. i have the magnavox hdd dvr for about 4 years now its awesome

If this is the case, how will we be able to do time recordings?

Will you create the fix in a future upgrade?

 

[Marley]

what i hear yes they are working on it

Go to the inner portal, interface, HDMI event reaction: Set to disable.
