    Of course some things would be different, such as the specs and etc, but the options and setups should be the same in most cases and similar in other cases.

I am trying to record a vod movie and when I press the record button I don't get any indication that it is recording. I have the one that came with the hard drive installed. Is there a setup that I have to do?

Click to expand...

when viewing LiveTV or Vod, press the menu button and then in side bar menu scroll down to Settings > Configuration > then scroll down to One Button Recording and turn that on.

See if that fixes it.

With the One Button turned off and after pressing the Red record RCU button, then a PVR recording menu will appear, yes.

With the One Button turned on and after pressing the Red record RCU button, then it should start recording automatically with a small message at bottom of screen saying something about Task initiated (or something) and I think a red indication light may appear onscreen.
I kind of forget how it all worked thou and my 4900 is currently unavailable to me.

If there is something wrong wit the drive or the capacity has been reached then the One Button recording won't work, it will just bump you out of the current screen and take you to Home screen.

Try inserting another drive. Or turn device off and unplug and replug in that drive you have now.

depending on what Home screen you are using, find the Settings option and then find the storage option.
Open that and you should see the hard drive listed there. There is also a function to erase and format the drive to function correctly with the buzz box.

If the drive is not shown there then disconnect it and reconnect it for results.

I thought I saw a Buzz tech recently mention that recording does not work on vODs only on LiveTV... as the recording app does not carry over to other platform.
