Today is the promised story of how record TV show or postpone watching an interesting TV show and return to it later. All this can be done by a digital television set-top box (tuner), into which a flash card (memory card) must be inserted into the appropriate slot, for example, with a memory capacity of at least 4 GB. After that, recording a TV program, postponing for a while watching an interesting TV show with a digital TV set-top box after you have to go to the kitchen or meet guests, will become very simple.

So, we have a very cheap prefix at our disposal, which I bought two years ago for a start for 1000 rubles ($ 35) from the Kaluga Electromechanical Plant (essentially a Chinese prefix).

We believe that it is connected with the appropriate connector to your analog TV (usually a cable with SCART connectors) and is tuned to one of the frequency channels in your area, on which 8 programs are “attached” at once. (Tuning to the desired frequency channel and simultaneously to all programs on it is carried out through the menu (MENU) - the button at the top left of the central part of the remote control. The remote control displays inscriptions in different languages, including yours, you need to find the display switching section for different languages inscriptions.

So, you need to urgently stop watching a movie (sports TV show) in order to return to it from the specified place after a while. To do this, you simply press the “pause” button - indicated by my yellow arrow in the picture (to enlarge, click on the picture, everything will be clearly visible), and go to meet guests or go to the store, turning off the TV boldly, but not the set-top box. After there is time to continue watching, just press the "play" button - my purple arrow. Annoying ads can be removed by “rewinding” by pressing the green button with two arrows on the remote (my green vertical arrow is in the picture). Or look back at something (revise) - press the red button with two arrows (there is also my red upward arrow in the figure). The rewind speed can be changed, like a DVD player - 2x, 4x, 8x ... We must stop again, press the "pause" button again - the yellow button in the figure, continue watching, the same "play" button is my purple arrow.

How to record a TV show? Firstly, the recording of a TV program lasts no more than 2 hours. This time is more than enough for a movie, a football match, entertainment TV shows.

So, we start recording a TV program on desired program by pressing the “record” button with a red dot at the bottom right on the remote (in the figure, my orange “start recording” button), while you will see the “Rec” icon on the screen, which means that the recording of the TV show has started, everything is in order. You can turn off the TV, and the set-top box must be turned on all the time.

After you have time to watch the recorded TV show, turn on the TV and press the blue button on the bottom right of the remote (the blue button is "view recorded files"). In front of you on the screen is a light brown strip in a frame with the attributes of the recording made, displaying the date and time of the recording. If there were several recordings of TV programs, then set the cursor to bottom line, on it your last record. Press "playback" - in the figure it is indicated by my purple arrow. At the top in the corner in the frame you see your TV show that began to be played, but in a reduced form. How to return the normal size of the image on the screen? You just need to click "OK". You remove the interfering lines with the button, as well as the EXIT computer. Nothing interferes with viewing.
Well, what if you need to pause while watching a TV show? We are looking for the familiar “Pause” button (indicated by the yellow arrow). Continuing to watch the recording of the TV show - look at the figure, where the button is indicated by the same purple arrow.

And what to do to return to TV mode from watching a recorded program? To do this, press the button to the left of the record button with a red dot (indicated by an orange arrow) on the button with a frame (or rectangle), which indicates the TV screen, or first do the same through the EXIT button.

As you can see digital television and a set-top box for a TV set provide an excellent and easy opportunity to watch TV programs of interest in full, when at first there was no time for this, which was completely absent in the past analog television.

In conclusion, attention should be paid to possible problems when playing a recording. It happens that after the end of recording, you press the blue play button in the remote control for the digital television tuner, but the menu with files does not appear on the screen and it seems that all your recording efforts were in vain. Do not rush to panic. If you have a computer, then insert a memory card (flash card) into the USB slot that you removed from the digital television set-top box in accordance with all the rules (after allowing entry through the menu -section in the menu for removing the memory card), and look for the presence of the file there with a record. It is easy to find out - the name of the TV channel will be written there and the date and time of the start of recording and the end of recording will be indicated. If there is a recording file, you can play the recording on a computer (digital technology is compatible), but in poor quality. If there is no computer, then let the set-top box "rest" - cool down, and perhaps the file that you recorded will appear in the menu on the screen when you press the blue button on the remote control from the digital television set-top box.

The thing is that these consoles get very hot. This heat is transferred memory card, not all of which can withstand such temperatures. Therefore, when buying a memory card, it is useful to take an interest in its temperature parameters, and also buy a card from trusted reliable world manufacturers. Yes, so when you are not watching TV, let the set-top box cool down by putting it into standby mode (red LED on).

Yes, the memory size of a flash card is not unlimited, old records must be erased. There is a red button on the remote for this. Having placed the cursor on one of the recording files (caused by the blue button), press the red file delete button. Further, everything is done intuitively.

Approximately the same is performed on the modern digital TV, where the control panel is very similar to the one shown by us for the console.

Note. Recently found one annoying problem. When recording, a TV show shows all the signs of recording content, but when you try to play it, it suddenly gives an error. What's the matter here? Do not rush to look for flaws in a flash card or set-top box, or in the machinations of a cat. Check the recording capabilities on other programs. If at least one program is recorded and played back, then everything is in order. Stopped recording due to new settings in the TV company, which suddenly decided to deprive viewers of such opportunities. What to do here? It's hard to say, but you can try to contact them in writing through the channel feedback, most often it is their email address may answer.

And about one more important detail, more precisely, a problem with recording TV programs. If, after recording TV, the recorded file with the plot (movie), etc., does not play back, after which you pulled out the flash card and inserted it into the TV to search for the recorded file, and then returned the flash drive to the set-top box back, then very often the set-top box stops recording TV programs (writes about it in a window, usually on English language). Don't be scared. Reinstall the flash drive into the computer, and defragment it, remove the flash card and insert it into the set-top box. And she'll start recording again with regard possible features as stated above in the article. This will take 2-10 minutes, depending on the capacity of the drive. How to do defragmentation? Insert a flash card into the USB connector, look in the section Computer Drives- ntrcn about the presence of an external source (drive, disk, ...). you click on it. In the window that opens, click on "Properties" at the bottom right click mouse, in the next window that opens, look for “Service”, click on it and see one of the “Perform defragmentation” windows. Wait until it is completed, close the window, remove the flash card in accordance with all the rules and insert it into the slot of the set-top box.

Majority modern TVs provide a function that helps to record the programs they like, and then the viewer will have the opportunity to review them at any time.

Which devices can record programs

On the this moment most devices do not have the ability to record, but smart TV models have appeared that this function is available. So, how is a program recorded from a Smart TV?

If a person already has a TV, but it is not known whether it has the functions of recording programs. You can find out about this by looking at the instructions. For example, LG is one of the pioneers in this industry, so there is a good chance that their devices have a video copying function.

Having found out that the device can copy the video broadcast on the TV, it's time to start the procedure itself. Most users are lost when nothing comes out. But the fact is that not only the TV should have special functions, but also the medium on which the information will be recorded.

What should be a flash drive:

    The flash drive must be formatted on the TV from which TV programs are recorded. As a rule, this is done through the Smart HUB;

    The flash drive must be checked on TV by performing a simple manipulation: press the "Source" button, select the "USB" flash drive and press "Tools". By the way, if you continue, then in the same menu you can carry out the formatting itself by selecting the appropriate item.

Even after these manipulations, the telerecording function may not work. In this case, most likely, the fact is that the flash drive simply does not fit. This problem exists on LG TVs, especially older models, but the issue is resolved by purchasing a new media that is already suitable in terms of parameters.

How to Record Video from LG TV

Many LG devices have a Time Machine feature that allows users to do a lot of video manipulation, including recording it.


Held:

    Scheduled recording. Let's say a person knows that a series will be running at the definition of time, an episode of which he will have to skip. And thanks to this function, the video will be recorded, it is worth making simple settings for time and channel selection;

    The recording can be played directly on the TV;

    Live Playback function, which helps to rewind the picture in real time.

But there are also restrictions that apply to LG TVs:

    If a digital channel broadcast via satellite dish, not everyone has the opportunity to record it;

    If the provider has blocked the signal from copying, then it will not be possible to record it;

    If the video was recorded on one TV, the other device will not be able to play it.

How is the copy process going? Everything is very simple, here are the instructions for the LG 47LA662V as an example:

    Insert the flash drive into the slot on the rear panel and initialize it. Be careful, all data on the media will be erased.

    Find the "Record" item in the menu and click on it.

    If the recording is finished, you need to click "Stop Recording" in the menu.

    To watch the recording, find "Recorded TV Program" in the menu.

If the device is the owner of Smart TV, then all manipulations are also performed through the "Menu".

How to Record Movie from Samsung TV

The abundance of high-quality Samsung TV models on the market is amazing. Therefore, it is not surprising that many users are interested in how to write a program on these devices? Everything is very simple - the actions are performed according to the same principle. Let's look at an example for Samsung UE40F6540ABb:

    Find the Recorded TV application and click on this item. At this moment, the flash drive that was installed earlier will be formatted and all information will be erased from it;

    Specify action options.


By the way, some models of Samsung devices have a so-called "Schedule Manager", which indicates the channel from which the video will be taken, date, time and duration of the recording process. And if one recorded program is not enough, you can make a whole series of repetitions of the recording, indicating their frequency. It is very convenient, especially if there is no time to constantly sit near the TV and watch how the procedure goes.

It should be said again that analog television programs it will not be possible to capture, but there will be no problems with recording most cable ones. By the way, this activity is illegal, because many manufacturing companies have put restrictions on the ability to record, including the LJ company.

On a flash drive? was short: "No way." AT last years the situation has changed. Many users purchase new devices that support the option of capturing video with the ability to stream to external storage digital information. And you can record programs and movies without extraneous devices and the presence of a computer. This is very convenient if a couple of important matches or programs are being broadcast at the same time, or urgent matters do not allow you to be distracted by watching TV.

First of all, you need to find out if you can write to a USB flash drive from the TV you are using.

Do all devices support video capture?

You can find out if grabbing is supported by your device from its user manual.


What kind of USB stick do you need?
