It doesnt always record. Youll schedule something record, go to watch it and its not there. Apparently it doesn't handle the dropping of a stream well, maybe the stream is unavailable when it has to start recording, or maybe the stream is cutting in and out during recording. in short, it isn't resilient enough to record despite the conditions. The TV app needs the ability to stay running in the background, so, if you have accidentally closed the TV app, it can fire it up to start a scheduled recording.

Its lacking the ability to set a recurring schedule, such as Monday to Friday at this time, or on a particular day, etc. You can only set a schedule on a date within 7 days of the current date, and you have to keep doing this every time for a recurring show.

It doesnt have the ability to instant replay / catch up a live stream. Sometimes you just want to see something again quickly, and you want to press a button to go back 15 seconds. Also, some times you just want to skip ahead a few seconds. Essentially, it should maintain a buffer all the time, regardless of whether or not you have set a stream to record so it can have this capability.

the service you use needs catchup

I'm suggesting that Buzz could consider adding this functionality in order to make it work with providers who don't provide catchup.
I've emailed buzz about this before and they suggested they were working on adding this feature, however that was many months ago, hence my question if development was ongoing.

I've been told Buzz is still working on updates for their boxes. I posted a little while back about some issues and NBS (the guy who seems to be the Buzz liaison) said they are working on those issues except the record. He said they would have to look into it. That's the last I heard about it.

There is a definite recording issue. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When the recording fails, there is a file on the SD card but it just won't play saying "unknown stream format". Catch up may be a good feature offered by the serer, but the Buzz box needs to be able to reliably record a program. I use IPTV66 and I couldn't tell you if they offer catch up or not, and if they do I sure don't know how to use it. I want my recording capability.

Apparently you've been fortunate :-) For me, it has almost never worked properly.

this might be why
a recording can be cut off if the channel you're recording has been buffering a lot/more then 15 seconds while its recording.
The issue with not being able to fix this, is because pretty much all server providers use Dynamic Urls for their streams, so if a channel buffers long enough it restarts and therefore creates a new URL and the recording was being done on the previous url.
 
#12
Ok, I'm curious as to why if they know this it cannot simply resume the recording at the new URL or, start a new recording at the new URL? Maybe I am oversimplifying this, as I am not a developer.

my guess is cause new url wasn't set in the recording of channel

That's where the flaw lies. The recording process should not depend on a URL or whether a server allows recording, etc.. Data flows into the box, just move that data to a local drive as it comes in. Recording should be box dependent and not rely on any other factors. This is a process that can be programmed into the box. If a video buffers, the buffer gets recorded, no need for the recording to just stop. Youtube does not allow you to record but I have software that records anything and everything I want from Youtube in real time right on to my hard drive with no hickups. I know for a fact it's possible.

and is the software you use compatible with android?

app called Peggo comes into play. It allows you to rip audio from YouTube videos in two quick taps, and it can even download the actual video in full HD. The best part about all of this is that it works on Android, so you don't even have to get off your couch to try it out. ....not in google app store ............but you can get it here ....
