Hi guys, just trying to check if you guys hv faced same problem before..
Recently I have some problems with my Astro Byond PVR..
I owned Astro Byond PVR, around ~2yrs now.
Recent problem that I face is that some recent recordings hv some issues:
1. recording time is complete.
2. some recordings hv issues, i.e. distorted, stuck during playback.. similar problem
like playing a scratched DVD.
3. however, some other recent recordings are fine..
4. old recordings are also fine.. those affected are within this past week.
5. the internal HDD is 50% full.
of course, my next step is to check with astro.. just would like to check if anybody
here face similar issues.
Hmmm... It just occured to me... If you're recording and then rain fade happens. Since the decoder doesn't actually record per se but stores the entire stream, if rain fade happens the stream becomes corrupted. So the decoder playback will skip and break. However, this is only logical if you're using dish to record, since IPTV is not affected by rain fade...
