You can use the time seek (free-jump?) - left/right arrow to jump to the desired position

Can you explain, does this mean you push the button and then enter a timecode. Or for example that you push the forward button 6 times to jump forward 6 minutes ?

Non Freesat EPG \ Sky News
I read with interest the various reviews and that you can add Non Freesat channels to EPG - does this mean you can say add Sky News to EPG and watch from the display or do you need to specifically switch to Non freesat mode. Also if watching Non freesat does this effect Freesat recording capability like Humax ? I like the sound of this box and if this is possible the end of Sky is nigh !!

One cannot add non-freesat channels to freesat EPG. In freesat mode epg works with freesat-scanned services, in non-freesat with non-freesat scanned ones. I just wrote, that both timers (freesat and non-freesat) were recorded, but there is no "mixed" mode. I couldn't access the non-freesat service in freesat mode, but the booked programme was recorded. Both modes support epg and both modes support recordings.
That's all. |

>Did the recordings overlap ie were you recording freesat and non freesat at the same time ?
I think yes, but I will check this once again at home. |

Non Freesat EPG \ Sky News
Thanks for that, the only channel her that must be obeyed says we Must have is Sky News so if there is an easy way of switching from Non Freesat to freesat and back then that sounds ideal. I see on the flikr pics that there is a protect icon for recordings , is that like pin protection of recordings to stop little fingers deleting my programmes ?

Nobody has actually confirmed that you can copy programmes to a USB device. In fact, quite the opposite on another forum.
I'd like to know if it can stream the content of it's hard drive via DLNA - now that would be clever, but I doubt it somehow. If Samsung would just put the sodding manual on their website it would save a lot of bother! ![]() John. |

I don't have the box but if it's like the hdr did you open the USB drive to it's root or a sub folder before attempting the transfer (without an online manual working in the dark

Is the manual available on the Samsung website yet? I had a look the other day and I couldn't even find details of the receiver! The Samsung website always seems hard work to me.
Sigh. Clem |

)When I select Move (thinking move to usb?) the only folders available to select are on the Samsung box which contain other recordings. There is an option for Drives, this come up with 'browsing please wait' then returns back to the TV folder options as above - no sign of the usb. The usb is recognised for playback and has displayed photos.

Yep it does seem you can move media on and off the box but recordings are kept separate and can't be moved.
It happily plays (some) avi files off USB, hard drive or media servers. Just need to work out which codecs as some avis don't work. |

Just put up an other scan from the User Guide
about Favourite Channels and Bookmarks Well I am going to get my tea now as it has been a long day for me out at 7am and not getting back till 8pm. I will add more to the Flickr over the next few days. ![]() Can't test anything out as people here want to watch some programs. |

15secs and 60seconds are the values I have set on my HDR skip controls so no change there.
I also note it also has x8 ff/rw which of course Humax does not. My Samsung is in transit with DHL and is at "Hams Hall" depot. Automan. |

This is looking quite promising. I hope Humax take note, and realise that if you don't introduce the features people want, other manufacturers will. I wonder what Samsung ongoing support is like?
Imagine, Live Pause working properly. I can feel a new purchase coming on. |

Hopefully, they'll have sorted most of the bugs out in advance.

Does live pause work OK then??
![]() I also found the TV Guide on the Samsung Freesat is a lot quicker once you get use to it, from using the sky guide. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ztoppe/...n/photostream/ You can also set the Guide Time line from 60 minutes (as seen in photo) to 120 minutes or 240 minutes. I have now set my to 120minutes which is fine for me.
