Recording what is in buffer.
I understand the Foxsat can buffer up to 2 hours of a single watched channel.
Say you want to record all of that buffer from the beginning and for the duration of the programme. How do you do this? |

You can't, currently. Maybe Humax might make this possible...

Yes you can !
First thing I managed to do with my new machine.! (the first one just did not work and went back to dixons online- Very good service ) Mine is still working with only one LNB but as long as the PVR is still on the required channel and you have not been browsing - Just press the Red spot button and it will record the program that is currently in buffer . Example i started watching "The Bill" at 8:14 and after many interuptions decided to record it Pressed the button and I have The Bill From 8:14 in my media file!! As mine is still only using one LNB it has NOT got updated software. |

Are you reeeeeally sure? You definately can't do this on version 2 (or whatever it's called).
Can anyone else confirm it is possible to record the buffer on v1? |

Just tried and you can't record the buffer on the latest firmware. Looks like this is an unintended consequence of the new firmware

Has anybody else managed this because I sure as hell can't do it. I wish Humax would sort this out with what I would consider a basic function. What can be so hard. Buffer says it all I would have thought.
Shame, because my Toppy will ( on Freeview) and very useful it is. |

I've posted before that its happened to me once on the v2 software.
That said, I've not been able to reproduce it since. |
