A little disappointed with my new Samsung 4K PVR
After playing with my new Samsung 4K PVR for several days, I decided to make notes. First, the good. This is a real nice piece of hardware. The video is excellent. The menus are sharp and fast. Th...
So I talked with the guys from Videotron about my review and they said they are working on a software update that will address some if not most of my issues. They couldn't give me a firm date but said it will come soon. I'm looking forward to that. In the meantime, I have adopted a few habbits that helps me with my recorded shows. Almost all series have a season and episode number in the discription. I decided not to delete the latest episode of all the shows I watch so when I get a second eposide of the same show, I can tell if it is a new one by checking that information. Also, more than 1 episode lets me see the episode names.
samrec, I will update my review as soon as a new software version comes out. VinhN, he has not acquired a 4K pvr yet so he probably won't experience what issues he will be faced with until he does.
And to make things worst, I have my 4k pvr delivered and installed on saturday.
To my surprise Videotron does not provides the unit with a 4K rated HDMI cable, so I habe to go get one. Which is not a problem, just a real inconvinience and odd that with such a high tech device and company this was a big oversight.
Hello Samrec!
The HDMI cable that is provided with the 4K PVR is indeed certified UHD (4K). There should be no need to obtain another one!
Well, today I noticed the software version changed from 1.0.5.2 to 1.0.5.3. After a quick check I could not see much difference. All my previous issues seem to be still present. Anyone else notice a change? Maybe after playing with it for a few days I will catch something. It seems that KTLA has been freezing here and there on recorded shows. I don't know if it had something to do with the change or something else is not right, again time will tell.
I noticed something odd last night. One of my chanels (651) does not longer shows on the guide but the unit keeps recording from it. I have previously set it to record Marvel Inhumans and last night when I was trying to tune in to see it live it was not there nor did it showed on the upcoming recordings. So I watched the show on 607 instead and recorded it too. This morning, I got both recordings showing on my unit.
Really ackward, will need to reach out to tech support I guess.
