Looking for Answers about samsung SMT-S7800High DefinitionFreesat Recorderwith 500Gb HDD?

Contents of library list have disappeared. What's causing this problem? Any idea how to recover lost recordings?

This unit is only three months old and today, 09/02/12, we lost all the listings of recordings. Firmware is the latest and we are now unable to record anything either. Help required here please.

When flicking between channels, this appears to be a regular problem. I read somewhere it was due to an old LNB, so just installed a new quad LNB. It seems to have improved, but still occasionally evident, especially HD channles.
Also, when using the red button on BBC channels, selecting "Sports Multicahnnel" the problem is ALWAYS there. I have never yet successfully received the multiscreen.

This would appear to me to be yet another software problem Are other users experiencing the same, and can Samsung confirm that this is omething they are working on?

Samsung Freesat+ HD PVR Digital Box (SMT-S7800)

Can you stream films from Lovefilms with an account at Lovefilms like you can on some other Samsung Products?

If you delete unwanted channels (Adult & others) from the channel list.
When the Samsung go into Standby and you turn it on (Active) all the deleted channels come back on to the TV list including the Adult channels.
It looks like it is not saving the channels settings or something.

So how do you delete channels so they don't all come back on after being in standby.?
Or is this Another Software bug that need to be fix soon.

As this was released without testing the software properly, when is the update to be released. As it is it is not functional as a PVR with scheduling errors, format recording errors (hd scheduled, sd recorded)
Also is there any plans to add external HDD function like my Samsung TV ? What is the point of playing video from a USB stick when I have a whole HDD with video files ? which i would have to mess about transferring !!
Also how about program recording copy to external HDD like nearly all PVRs including the Humax FOXSAT.

Can you edit out unwanted adverts, cut and trim etc on recorded content from the internal hard drive, and can you save edited content to a separate USB connected hard drive, and if so what file format is the recorded content saved as?

How can one obtain a downloadable copy of the user manual to review the working methods before purchase?
Can Samsung please provide one on this website or a link to where it can be downloaded from?

Will manual adjustment / setting of recording timers be enabled in the SW upgrade. Presently only the epg can be used to preset a recording, so limiting you to 7 days in advance in freesat mode and possibly only "next" programme in non-freesat (if even that works).
Will a feature for auto-padding of recording timers be included with pre-roll and pot-roll times?

I thought turning off power-save mode may stop the unit deleting all planned non series link recordings but it did not help.

Anyway, what does it do? The manual makes no mention of it.

The unit seems to use 0.7 watt in standby whether the option is on or off.

Does the S7800 have the capacity to stream/display content held on a Home Network such as MP3, Movies and Photos? If so, what protocols does it use? uPNP for example?

I was told the WIS09ABGN wifi dongle was needed to connect the SMT-S7800 to my WiFi network but when i plug it in nothing seems to happen.
Which wifi dongle would i need for this recorder?

Contents of library list have disappeared (AGAIN). What's causing this problem? Any idea how to recover lost recordings?

The suggestion by Dexin resolved the issue till now!!

Same problem again. HDD is indicating reserved space 4%, used space 39% and free space 57%. Have switched off the unit for a minute or two and restarted. Library contents empty!!!

I appreciate your response Samsung customer service, however, I had already installed the latest Firmware prior to posting the question. Help please.

I've just purchased a new SMT-S7800 box and have found that I intermittently lose access to all horizontal polarity channels (e.g. BBC1, BBC2, Five, More4+1). More often that not I get the "Cannot Receive This Programme" error on these channels. Vertical polarity channels are working consistently, with no issues.

I've just switched over from a Sky box, with which I had no signal problems. I've even switched back and the Sky box is still working well.

My signal strength is 80% and signal quality 90% on the vertical polarity channels. On horizontal channels both show as 0%. Software level is 5.0.301.

Is this potentially a problem with the new box ? Or is the new box more sensitive to signal - and if so, what can I do to resolve ?

Thanks.

My set top box just keeps booting / rebooting it comes on for a few seconds shows a channel ,says hd not ready, then reboots again . it wont let me go to any menu`s . ive had it unplugged off all day and the problem persists.
Please help , ive searched and there are a few other people with the same issue but samsung have not answered their questions.

I want to know if this item is working in saudi Arabia ( Nilesat and Arabsat)

When I switch the tv off, the display on the recorder changes to the digital clock, shortly after that the display goes blank with only the blue light on and then a series linked recording will not take place. I have the the Advanced Power Saving Mode turned off. What do I do to stop this happening. My SM700 is connected to a Samsung Series 7 Smart TV. I have only had the Freesat Set-Top Box 4 months.
