try this to convert the trp format to mpg4

Convert Video files to MP4 - YASA MP4 Video Converter

not really necessary. You can just rename the trp files to mpg and watch em like that on a PC

Hi pal, I use a 500gb SATA 3.5" in an Icy Box without cooler

The drive can take way more than I can ever hope to watch, its plenty.

If FAT32 then rememeber that there is a max file size of 4gb. Does the box auto split as if it goes to record a file larger than 4gb then it will be corrupt I believe.

 

[prash_2k]

cheers guys 500gb it is then. I have to fat32 format it right?

Silly question just read a little and there it was Fat32 it is!

Mines finally arrived...just a quick check , i assume the 120309 is the latest firmware? also do i just flash it straight out the box or set up the FTA stuff first then flash?

[Schmoo1]

Messa, spot on mate. i love my ex7000, yeah granted, does have small issues with favourites, false signal strength issues, but does exactly what it says on the tin....

And has anyone managed to successfully use STBM i simply cant get it to upload everytime i install the new channel file the fav button just doesnt show what its supposed to...

using the stbm isnt my problem mate , its pretty much straight forward , its the freezing of the epg that seems to come with the channel file i create that does me in , lol , so ive ended up just doing it throught the menu which takes ages but it was worth it in the end .

as for the favs on the stbm im pretty sure its capped as when you set up the channels and favs manually , you seem to get alot more chanels in your favs than when you do with stbm software . thats just my experiance of it , so hope it may help ya . also when i did it manually i deleted alot of channels that i dont use and never would so maybe thats free'd up some of the system so more favs can be added .

verdict of stbm

STBM has a lot of cool features and info but could be alot better and doing it manually seems a better and stable option at the mo , but good idea and hope theres a better release of it soon , and hopefully a firmware update aswell , fingers crossed , lol

nice will be good too see how this box compares to the new krytview hd pvr box since apparantly thats 150-170 quid and already the picture qualitys pretty good in hd and non hd when upsaled to a hd set via hdmi.

The more competition the better

 

[sem1604]
