then get a booster.

although i used to have my aerial go into the vcr, then out of the vcr into the set top box, then out of the set top box to the tv with both the vcr and set top box hooked into the tv via rca leads. now i have it the set top box gets the signal first and vcr second and the vcr also gets the rca leads from the set top box so i can tape digiat channels.

well how else am i supposed to tape stuff until i get a ps3 and playtv? i'm not enough of a nerd to have a media centre, and i honestly don't watch that much tv.

but i do have a SNES and sega megadrive, plus a N64, xbox and ps2. most of the consoles i only have about 5 games for except for the ps2, which i have about 20

Sometimes it cuts the ass off the show which sucks. You'd think digital channels would send a digital 'marker' at the start and finish of a program.

If they do that it would be easier to record and fast forward the ads, they don't want that, they want you to sit there and watch the Ads so they make it harder to record it.

you can set it to start a few minutes early and finish a few minutes late, we do this and it always gets the whole show

No not the start and finish of the program segments. The start and finish of the whole program.

So it records from the very beginning to the very end. Not just the bits of the actual show.

"you can set it to start a few minutes early and finish a few minutes late, we do this and it always gets the whole show"

Where's this setting? In the options?

yeah when it asks to 'set recording' just go down and i think the defauls says 'start on time' and below that 'finish on time' you just press up or down on the sticks the set the time then go back up and set recording.

After this is done you can go back into the gude view and you will see your recording set in red and little orange bits overlapping into the shows on either side indicating that your recording will capture a little part of those shows

you can search the next 7 days and it will record anything matching that description

Really, i know you can search but then you have to go through the process of recording each of them one at a time.

Its also not exactly what im talkinf about, when you record something now you get an option to record once, daily or weekly, the option i want is the same thing but for the whole series untill i tell it not to anymore.

could you repeat that please, could all i heard was "i'm a whiney little bitch" bahahaha

sorry mate, couldn't resist it.

couldn't you just simply set it to record weekly then just turn that off once the show has ended. generally they don't move shows around too much.

do u have to keep the ps3 running while it records - like say u wana record something while ur at work, do u just set up the epg and then leave the ps3 running or can u set it and then turn it off?

im thinking about getting one

You turn it off, it will start and record the program then turn its self off, even while it is recording you can turn it off, it will get to a certain point and you leave it there once recording is finished it will turn its self off.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
