I checked the wireless booth at Costco and the Bell internet/tv offer comes only with Cloud PVR and a HD receiver device. This was brand new information to me; currently I have a 4K PVR box (with physical hard disk). I never watch 4K TV (only streaming which I do on the ...

Wondering what is the best external hard drive to use to turns bell satellite receiver into a pvr by just plugging it into the USB port. Does the external HD need to be powered by AC or are there ones that can draw power from the USB port. Make and model is appreciated.

Switched to Bell from Cogeco and trying to figure out the pvr. I'm simply trying to rewind or fast forward thru shows. It was 6:30 so I went to the guide and selected CHCH 6PM news. Great but the minute I try to fast forward I'm informed I can't???? With ...

So I'm finally cutting the cord, but would like to keep my PVR recordings operational. Read about disconnecting the cable before the service is cut off and using a UPS to keep the box powered up. Has anyone successfully kept their PVR running? Testing ...

I am on the South Shore and am interested in switching from Videotron. Contact me if you have something good.

The Source Cable PVRs which we were supplied with are always on, 24/7. That's a waste of energy and they produce heat which adds a bit to our A/C burden. Are all PVRs like that? Can I not buy one which boots when it needs to?Thanks

I have to replace my Bell Fibe PVR model VIP5662W due to constant freezing. I have many recorded programmes I would like to keep but I can’t find any info to copy them to USB stick. My box has details on removing the 1TB drive. Could I exchange the drives when the new box arrives? Thanks!

I just received an email saying USTV has introduced a new HD plan with PVR for $4.99 USD per month. Includes only 7 channels but it's the major US networks. I was previously on their free SD plan so you may need to be an existing USTVNow member to get this ...

The biggest advantage of a Tablo device vs an HDHomeRun is that the HDHR requires an always-on PC, whereas the Tablo is a standalone set-top-box https://www.tablotv.com/sf/uploads/tablo_dual_vs_hdhomerun_chart1.png https://www.tablotv.com/sf/uploads/og_tablo_what_you_need_new.png Tablo normally sell...

I have a Telus Optik TV and internet system. Using the standard Actiontech V1000H modem router which works fine for me and their Cisco CIS430 PVR. For several years I've been using this system with a 40" TV in a small family room. For audio I connected an analog headphone jack from the TV ...

Maybe somebody can shed insight on how to fix this problem. Watching live TV and on demand is perfectly fine, but watching anything on the PVR, or paused live TV causes an extremely annoying freeze every minute or so. Bell can't figure this out, even after sending out a new PVR. Could a new ...

Just got an email from Tablo. They are offering a free amplified antenna with the purchase of either the 2 or 4 tuner PVR. If you are not familiar with Tablo here is the description from their website: Tablo is a 2-Tuner Over-The-Air (OTA) DVR for Cord-Cutters using HDTV antennas ...

... raising rates. The only reason I'm still with Bell is that I never watch live TV (only recorded shows) and am not aware of any non-Bell/Rogers PVR/DVR available that would replicate their functionalities. Is there anything out there that I'm not aware of? Thanks.
