Coolsat 7000 FAQ's

[No_PaRoLe]

Q. How come my 7000 only records for 1 hour at a time?

A. By default it is set for one hour. Once recording has started, then press the record button again, this will bring up a window which will allow you to extend it up to two hours.

Q. What is the ideal hard drive for the 7000?
A. A hard drive up to 500GB, 7200 rpm, external power and pre-formatted Fat32.

Q. Can I get a USB powered Hard Drive?
A.
In general, an external power is better since they support higher rpms (7200), whereas the USB powered drive are only 5400 rpm.

Q. If I want to use a cable to update files, do I use a 9 pin null or a straight cable?
A. Straight cable.

Q. Can you use a USB flash drive to record?
A. You can use a USB flash drive but it is very limited. The receiver records about 1GB per hour, so it’s better to use an external USB hard drive.

Q. Do you need anything for “Time Shifting”?
A. Time shifting is recorded onto internal memory and is always on. You do not need any other accessory.

Hi all. I am new to all this and I am learning. Yesterday i tried to downloaded movie to USB flash 4 Gig and it fit nicely (1,6 Gig). then i tried few programs on computer to burn this movie. VideoReDo works fine (trial version alowed me to do 15 minutes so i did cut - cut - cut and recorded 6 little movies). then i used Power Producer and burn all of them into one file and DVD disk. Nice, but WideoReDo is 15 days trial version. Then i played with my Sony Vegas And Sony Architect. They worked great - I was able to even edit movie and make markers-chapters. So use Vegas to transfer .ts files from USB in burnable .mpeg and then use DVD architect to burn it.

Hate to say this, but you just hijacked a FAQ= Frequently asked Questions! This post belongs in the general discussion area. Click the New Thread button and start your own...might be surprised how quickly it gets answered.

To answer your question, there is a slight delay when changing channels, however this release is much better than previous release.

Cheers
