KBox Plus - Using the PVR Functions on the Kbox Plus
Very easy to do....and so nice to have....

To begin with, connect a USB 2.0 FAT32 formatted hard drive to the USB port. Could also use a USB thumb drive...as large as you can get.

To Format a Storage Device with the Kbox Plus

Connect the device to the receiver. A box titled "USB Explorer" will open. At the bottom of this box you will see a yellow button that says "Format"....press the YELLOW button...a notice will pop up asking if you want to Format USB....select YES...it only take a short time to format the device.


To record a program you are currently watching, simply press the button with the RED DOT. Press the Stop button if you wish to stop recording.

TO SET UP A RECORDING

there are a couple of ways...

(1.) From the Guide

Open the guide. Hi-lite the program you wish to record. Press OK twice and a red dot will appear. The receiver will automatically go to this program and start recording when it is time for the program to come on. When the program is over, the receiver will stop recording.

If you decide you do not wish to record this program after you set it to record, just go back to it in the guide and press OK again and the red dot will go away.

or

(2.) Use the Timer Manager Functions

To do this, press Menu> Configuration> Timer Manager. A window will open titled "Timer Manager". At the bottom you will see a red button that says "Add Timer". Press the RED Button on the remote. A "Timer Edit" window will open.

Select the mode you wish to use....to record once, daily or weekly.
Enter the date you want the recording to begin on.
Enter the time you want the recording to begin.
Enter how long you want it to record in the duration option...you can see the end time of the recording in the End Time option.
Select the channel you wish to record.
Set the Type to Recording...failure to do this will result in the receiver not recording the program.
Set the Power Off option to whichever you want the receiver to do at the end of the recording...either power off or stay on.

Once you have this set up, press EXIT on the remote. When it asks if you want to save the settings, Select YES.

If you decide you do not want to use this program you set up, go back to the Timer Manager screen, select the one you do not want to record and press the GREEN BUTTON (Delete Timer). Press EXIT and then select YES to save setting changes.

While the receiver is recording, you will not be able to change the channel or use any other functions of the remote except the STOP button (white button with a square) and the volume buttons.


TO WATCH RECORDED SHOWS

Once again there are a couple of ways to access recorded material.

(1.) Press the white button with the triangle with a line under it. This will open a Play List window that lists all of the recorded programs on the storage device. The files shold end in .ts.
To watch one of the files, use the up or down arrow button to hi-lite the one you wish to watch and press OK or the PLAY button. The file will start playing. Press OK or PLAY a second time and it will exit to full screen viewing. While watching a recorded program, you can use the fast forward, rewind, pause and stop buttons just like you would on a VCR.

or

(2.) Press menu> utilities> play list. This will take you to the Play List window that you accessed in number 1 above.


From the Play List window you can manage the recorded files.

If you wish to delete only selected files, with the Play List window open, select the file you wish to delete and press the GREEN button and follow the prompts.
If you want to delete them all at once, press the RED button to reformat the storage device and all recorded files will be deleted and the storage device will be reformatted.

Once you delete the files by either of these methods, they CANNOT be recovered.
