Zinwell ZMT 640 PVR

Hi

Has anyone else out there come across this problem. When I set up a recording for a programme say on TV1 on the PVR, If I am watching TV3 when the PVR starts recording it automatically changes to the channel it's recording which is very annoying as I miss the end of the programme on TV3

That seems to be a standard "feature".

The list of quirks seems to be:

1. Changing the primary decoder's channel when a scheduled recording comes up, and turning the machine out of standby if it's not on. Ideally the unit should use the second decoder unless absolutely necessary (ie unless two recordings are at the same time).

2. Dumping the viewer back to live viewing if a recording finishes while the viewer is watching the recording.

3. Muting the sound or playing 2channel instead of surround if the viewer has been watching a channel with a different audio codec before watching a recording.

4. Only maintaining series recordings for two episodes ... necessitating frequent re-scheduling of series recordings.

I'm looking forward to the promised firmware update ... hopefully it nixes these.
