Trying to record series still does not work. It probably never will as it is most likely due to the EPG rather than the PVR. As I am unable to record a series, I set the record for daily or weekly as the case may be. Unfortunately, when I do this the timer padding is no longer applied to the recordings. It is easy enough to add another ten minutes to the end of the recording but if you set the timer to start a few minutes early, you end up with the wrong program tag.
One tuner has a signal of only 50 to 70% compared to the other of 100%. Tuner 2 signal strength appears to be slightly influenced by the channel selected. This is not presenting as a problem for me, just an observation. Maybe in high winds or heavy rain it will become an issue.
Something interesting, I am in SA and have found that Networks 7 and 10 share the same transponder. This means that I can have two programs being recorded on these two networks and still have access to every other station from the other networks. Took a while to work out as I kept getting different results when I tried recording two programs at the same time.
Now something that has not been mentioned, the back button. When watching a program, this button should take you back to the previous channel, good for switching between programs, particularly when adds come on. The button does not work as advertised. it does bring you back to previous screens when looking at menus and the like but it does not switch between channels.
