MAG Question

by Verbal7272

I swear I searched for an answer before posting..

For the life of me I can not figure out how to record a show/movie.

What am I missing?

I am using a MAG256 and running Voodoo if it matters.

Thanks for any help.

On my mag I can only record if I insert a USB key r external hard drive. You cant record directly on your internal memory. And some sub's won't allow recording.

YOu need to use hard drive or USD disk then you can record

On my sub in could only record if I wasn't watching - similar to the way satellite boxes need dual tuners in order to record. My sub has a playback feature though for the major channels you can go back a week so don't really need to record. Maybe your sub has it too. It took me a while to find it on mine, here's a vid https://youtu.be/5qT769X3iHI

You need to have a USB drive in the box, and your provider has to have it not blocked, because yes there is a feature in Stalker to stop this from happening.

Honestly if you want to record your shows, get a Z7+, as the Z8 still can't schedule recordings! Or better yet, just get a provider with really good catchup.

This question hasn't been asked for about a year or more, so your search would have probably been empty.

Most suppliers don't know how to enable recording on a Mag box.
