Hi there. I have A5ITA w/8GB. can I force it to record to an SD card by default? Or do I have to make sure there's space on internal memory before recording?
Thanks for your help

:evil: :evil: AAAARRGHH!!!!
More problems recording from TV! Recorded a film from TV Wedensday night. Video playback has a stutter, but audio playback is fine. I think most times I've had these problems, it's been when I record something that runs past midnight. Could the automatic download of TV ...

Hooray! I setup A5A/DVR to use new Freeview decoder as TV source, and successfully recorded repeat of Ideal last night!
Could this really be the end of my troubles? I really hope so.

:x
OK, getting a bit fed up now. Programmed A5A to record Ideal last night; checked results this morning. Audio comes through fine, but no video!
I'm thinking it has to be something to do with the video source (Philips DVD player), so I have bought myself a cheap Freeview decoder and will try that ...

I tried this, but it didn't fix the issue, still no "File Management" option
So connected it to my PC and deleted some files using PC file manager, then completed firmware download. I now have the "File Management" option!

Back on topic: set the Archos to record 2 programs last night; both recorded ...

:?
To get back on topic, the replacement DVR station has arrived. I've set the output of my Philips DVD-R to RGB, PAL, 4:3. Can't see a setting to check DPI.
Video in to Archos set to RGB.
Tried a test recording yesterday, and so far seems OK. Will continue to monitor.
Now have another problem ...

Registered device via wireless internet connection. Still no menu option to delete files. Connected A5ITA to PC and deleted some videos using file manager. Afterwards, successsfully completed firmware upgrade. I now have the menu option "File management", so I can delete files.

I can't delete files, and I have only 60MB of space. I'm wondering if this is preventing the firmware update that I'm being prompted to download from completing. There is no delete file option in File Manager or under Video or Music menus.
Thanks for any help and suggestions.

I'll check when I get home. Any suggestions what it should be?
Thanks

Em... you're still not quoting the settings, you're telling me what cables you use. The fact that you don't know the difference alarms me. It suggests that you've not adjusted any settings at all, on the Phillips or the Archos. Which might possibly explain everything. Or not?
Oops, misunderstood ...

While you're waiting for your replacement, I just realised that you've only told us what it's like watching your recording on a TV. What's it like viewing your recording on the Archos itself?.
Exactly the same

Can I assume that you're getting the recording info from the AMC Video player app ...

You're probably right. I've arranged for Amazon to replace the DVR Station. We'll see if that makes any difference.
One thing I did notice though when I unplugged the DVR Station yesterday, was that the scart connector going to the TV was half out of the socket on the TV. As this is coming from the ...

Sorry if I wasn't clear sweetypie. But I don't understand how the DVR would affect the recoding on the Archos.
Isn't the DVR a passive device as far as the recording process goes?
I thought the only reason the DVR was powered was for the remote control of the video source, and as a charger for the ...

OK, got a replacement from Amazon on Wednesday, did the firmware upgrade and downloaded the program guide, and successfully scheduled & recorded 3 different programs on Wednesday night. Great I thought, until...
I scheduled recording of Aliens from C4 last night, and what do I get? A 41 second file ...

Hi sweetypie, answers below

Video out on the source - cable box, etc. (what is the source?) SCART out from Phillips DVD Recorder
Video in on the DVR - in Video Recorder. All the individual cables from the other end of the SCART are plugged into the IN ports of the DVR
TV Out on the DVR - in Menu ...

You probably need to register with tvtv; go to their website http://www.tvtv.co.uk/tvtv/index.vm?lang=en to set up an account. If you still have the initial registration details and code that came with your Archos, you -may- still qualify for the 1 year free subscription to the TV Guide. If ...

Hi sweetypie, thanks for your reply. Will send response to settings questions when back at home and A5IT is redocked!

Hi paulus 3476
Thanks for your suggestions.
The frame drops you mention have been associated to occassions when the unit has been recording and displaying the programme at the same time - this is asking too much of a device like this , it can record fine ,it can playback fine but both together is ...

I am having the following problems with my recently purchased A5IT/Android; all relate to use with the DVR Station Gen 6 I bought at the same time
1. Since upgrading the firmware, the display on the TV doesn't seem as clear as when the unit was first plugged into the TV, and there also seems to be ...

Hi paulus3476

Thanks for your reply. I am using SCART out from the Phillips DVD-R and SCART in on the TV, using the cables supplied with the Archos DVR Station.
I'll have to check the guide for my Phillips DVD-R to see if it can send on more than one output simultaneously; I have a horrible ...
