Last week, my 513 with super FW ran out of HDD space during a timer recording. It gave the error E50. No problem, I free'd up some space and "one-time" recorded a rerun, then went in the timer recordings list to erase the E50 code from...

@rkg22 : it's not confusing, it's very well appreciated. It could explain from a theorical perspective what's going on but, in a very practical way, there isn't much I can do. If the "noise floor" calls for more attenuation on one...

Quote:Originally Posted by wajo In my previous advice to try a splitter, should I have said another splitter (or TWO, as a test to see effects of attenuating signal more than your normal)? Yep, tried that too. Also tried different...

Quote:Originally Posted by Ken.F Do you use a long coax run with an amp? If so maybe a tilt compensator would help. Long cable.. I'd say yes since it must be about 100 ft. But I use a PRE-amp, outside next to the tower. No amp...

Wow, so they remain in memory, but are they tunable? When I revert to "IN", PBS is still in memory on 33.1 (and sub channels 33.2, 33.3, 33.4) but has a signal indicator of "0" and so is not tunable.

Quote:Originally Posted by wajo Put a splitter between the incoming coax and the Mag, connect to the IN and see if it gets both channels... might have to rescan? Good tip, I already did that = same result. It,s just very puzzling...

Based on the current prices, I wonder why anyone would go for the 533. For 4$ more, you get about 30% more storage. Add for only another 20$, you double it over. Anyway, about the post I made on Sunday, I tried the same with the other...
