Got an update from BuzzTV support last night that many customers have requested for recording to happen without streaming. They are working to have the 'livetv" app on but without streaming so that recording can happen. ETA is 4-6 weeks.

good luck...lol
if you're not streaming you're recording squat
and that ETA is forever

Update:[/B]

I contacted buzztv support and was told to keep the "live tv" app on and not to go into home or standby mode. If i keep the livetv on for say 8 hours/night, what will be the apprpox data consumption? I have a 1TB monthly cap and have few other devices.

I had posted a while back that Buzz should program in a "channel 0 (zero)" in the Buzz TV app that was a dead channel that pointed to nowhere. That way we could launch the app, keep it up all day but as long as it sat on channel 0 no bandwidth would be used. Most people in this group thought that was a stupid idea....whatever.

I currently don't have a sub as it ran out and I wont re-sub until winter so I am working from pure memory here. I had a work around for the exact issue you speak of. Since the timer will not launch the Buzz TV app, or even turn on the Buzz box, you have to leave the box on, and the app open. Now I don't know (since I no longer have a sub) if it's still there, but Papiao had a channel 999 which was listed as a "test" channel. At the time this channel was dead; didn't point to any URL. If this is still the case then you can use channel 999 for this work around.

Turn on the box, launch the Live TV and turn to the channel you want to record. set your timer via the guide (if the guide is correct), or set the timer manually. once completed turn to channel 999. If 999 is still a dead channel then you will burn no bandwidth (except for the minuscule amount of data used by the Buzz app checking for a handshake for channel 999). Now, while on channel 999 set a "reminder" via the manual timer for 5 minutes after the timer is set to end on the channel you want to record. set the reminder for channel 999.

If done right this is what should happen:
Lets say the show you want to record starts at 12:00 and ends at 13:00 on channel 100. turn on channel 999 in the morning before you leave for work....no bandwidth is used on 999. At 12:00 the timer switches to channel 100 and records for an hour stopping at 13:00. When the recording stops you'll still be on channel 100 burning bandwidth. This is where the "reminder" comes in. At 13:05 the reminder fires up and switches back to channel 999 where the Buzz app will sit for the remainder of the day burning no bandwidth until you get home.

If 999 test channel is no longer there then look for another channel that's dead. If I remember right there were a couple of dead Special Event channels that could be used. I know there were a ton of international channels that were dead, but they come and go and any ones whim so one could fire up and start streaming while you're at work.

Play with it and see what you come up with.

and what if someone wants to set up more than one recording from more than one service?

Multiple recording timers can be set in this fashion with a reminder for channel 999 set in between each record timer.

As for more than one service, no other services are allowed to be discussed here so it's a moot point. To quote your post #124 "you might want to read rules".

this is the buzz section not a service section

This is the Buzz section of NFPS/Rocket/Route 66 IPTV site. No other services are to be discussed on this site regardless of what section you're in. So again, setting a recording for other services is a moot point here.

no server name was mentioned so helping should not be an issue
