Cable Forum - VOD Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

I'm guessing the preference is to have one recording box and the rest as slaves. Assume new customers get this as standard.

The fact VM are upgrading V6 box software to 360 seems to be causing some long winded workarounds due to multiple hard drives.

I'll stick with my V6's for now, the more I read the more I'm not inclined to make the move to 360

When VM say 'upgrade' , I've learnt to avoid it over the years.
The 360 is a downgrade and so is voip for landlines.

Delayed at Govts insistance, as it puts vulnerable people at risk.
I'm keeping hold of my SH2, no phone port, so they can't 'upgrade' me.

That program will then be recorded on that box going forward, even if the default recording box is one of the others

When setting up a new series link go to Advanced and select which box you want the recording to be made on. It will then be recorded on that box going forward. If though you've already got a series link set up for a particular program and want to change it so it will record on the other box then you need to cancel that series link, and then set it up to record again, using the advanced options when you press record.

cheers for this. so I've selected a random show and selected my box. will this mean it doesn't show on any other boxes under recordings? or just that its been recorded physically on this box but can be viewed on other boxes and is visible on other boxes etc

The recording is on one box but viewable on any.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

i have 3 v6s which have moved to 360 software. All 3 have separate hard drives obviously but are they still in use? since all the recordings are now in the cloud and combined?

I thought only the index was in the cloud? The drives on my two boxes seem to work.

Yes, all can record. Usually things will record on whichever box you set the recording from.

To find out where recordings are stored, go to Recordings, then do View All. Press the Home button and change the filter from "Recordings" to "Recorded on this Virgin TV box"
