ExpressVu HD and PVR Receivers: 5x00, 6x00 and 9x00 Receivers | Forum profile

Don't underestimate the convenience of dual tuners on a PVR. The 6131 is alright, but it becomes a real pain if a recording is scheduled when you're watching something else. The 9241 is a single television receiver. You can connect HD televisions to both the HDMI and component video outputs, but you can only watch the same program on each. The 9242 has a (SD only) second television output ...

I just bought a 6131 which I will receive and activate on January 31st, so I will be able to contribute in a short while. I have a question though, does any one have information on what EHD's can be connected to the 6131 ? Any size, brand, model, RPM requirements ?

Just purchased a 9241 from BW store this week and have recorded several programs successfully. It didn't come with a SW44 switch so I purchased one from a local retailer & will brave the cold this weekend to install it.

for me i haven't notice anything much. Because when i want to set a timer, it shows all the same thing that it shows before.

I had this same problem. Thought I had a lot of space but recorded a number of HD programs. I had to use lenix to delete several programs before I could access the drive again.

As there are probably hundreds of different drive enclosures out there I think it is very unfair to expect Bell TV to have tested them all and be able to trouble shoot all the different ones available to the Customers. They also sell the LaCie models, so that could be why they do not get too involved in supporting some of the lesser known versions.

I once had no problems watching disc recorded content on a 5900 with no antenna attached. That might have changed with new firmware though. Just press Menu to get around the error messages. __________________ -- Scary
