Good advice, my money is on the drive, but could be a combination of all your suggestions.Hello @dog-man
I want to help you with this as my Viark sat 4k performed flawlessly over the weekend. I recorded
all the NFL games without incident and some other stuff too.
Are you ok going through some step by step analysis with me to try and resolve this?
I have seen the problem of an event timer recording not having worked and still sitting in the
timer listings even though the date has passed before. It has happened to me as well.
I have resolved it quickly though by trying things.
A simple reboot, switching the box off and back on again helps with this, as well as disconnecting
and then reconnecting your usb drive or usb stick. This sounds obvious, but trust me, sometimes
a reset is required.
After you do that, I would check your recording settings in the USB Menu and PVR SettingsMenu.
Ensure that the recording time is set to at least 600 (hrs), Timeshift set to off.
Then try a manual record if you can and have time please. Simply hit the record button on the
remote and then set the recording time manually to 10 mins to test the recording function works.
If that is ok, then use the event timer to record anything and see what happens.
The Viark does do recording very well. I'm just a a bit puzzled as to why it is a bit of a problem with
your box.
Let us know how you get on...
