Won't do timed recording
I should stress that I have been using a similar machine, by August, for many years so I am fully familiar with its operation. This one appears to take instructions for timed recording but then ignores them. The field is left completely empty.
While setting up the new box, I noticed that the PVR logo differed from that of the August in that it is pixelated and distorted (picture 1). For comparison, this is the image from the August (picture 2). I should explain that I've moved the latter to my garden shed as an radio and MP3 source so I've only attached a tiny monitor intended for a car reversing camera. Hence the quality but note the PVR logo matches the others.
The Teknikal box formatted my USB3 stick (picture 4) and reported no difficulty in locating the memory (picture 5). As I say above, it simply records nothing from the EPG. I have, of course, tried several other USB sticks with the same result.
