Recording and Time Shift on Mag 254

The Mag has no probs with any HDD thrown at it...timeshift, diff story, I believe you need a live broadcast to use it. Should be no prob recording in real time..

I've tried and I get an error message and the recording stops. I once got time shift to pause but never again. Can you give more specific instructions how you are able to record a live TV channel? Thanks in advance.

I have tried recording too and I get a url error message. I am using a paid IPTV as well as this trial service and same error message.
 
sorry to say I can't find any info on recording with the 254, it simply may not have that feature. I will continue to check further, thks

Oh it indeed does have this feature in the menus as well as time shifting but neither are working on the outer portal even though a connected USB drive is recognized. Looks like a Mag software glitch that hopefully will be fixed in future updates.
 
You go to settings in the stalker middleware.... then to "local Timeshift".... Then you activate it there but you need a usb or hdd to do it.
Then when they turn it on your good to go. If turned on in the inner portal, you should be able to time shift if you have a channel list loaded.

Has anybody find out how you record live stream using Mag. 254 to usb flash drive or external hard drive ?

If so, could you please tell me the instructions how to do it ?

Anybody knows what file format is the video file saved under ? Is it Ts ?
Is it saved to root directory or can be saved to subdirectory on usb drive storage?

Thanks

So what settings you put in local time shift here to enable recording?

How do you start recording from live stream from the screen ?

Thanks
