Hey, I picked up a cheep 50 r6 a couple weeks ago I used an old 16g USB stick to record but it was only recording 90min on a sort of loop constantly. I was hoping for more record time so I got a 64g stick but it didn’t change anything. So I looked into it a bit and read that 16g is the max for this tv so I put the old 16g back in(I think it was bought as old stock only a a couple weeks before I got it).. the tv’s firmware was updated last June 30th so that is up to date; but it has glitched out on me a could times in the past couple days when I tried to rewind a couple min to catch something I missed. By glitched I me when I hit the rewind it just goes blank then starts playing live and the bar on the bottom that shows the channel/info plus the bar showing that the USB is recording.... any idea what this could be? In your opinion even though 90min/16g is the Max record length would a larger USB stick help this? Any idea/thoughts would be helpful!!! God Bless
Thank you for sharing this. In which format do Hisense record the video files ? Mp4, mpeg-2, mov.... ? I have an LG smart tv. Unfortunately what I record via LG PVR function can be played only on the LG tv and not on a projector or a PC because it's recorded in a format that can be read only on an LG device.
I bought a JVC LT-40C880 in 2018 and that had a PVR function that recorded to .ts format (like on a DVD) and this was readable on a PC. I was also able to transcode into other formats using Handbrake, for playback on other devices. Unfortunately the damn thing has just died, so now I've got a new Hisense. The Hisense creates .bin files and VLC can't play them unfortunately.
The problem with PVR recordings is they are encrypted with DRM so you can't view on any other device. Recording becomes "semi-useless" (bought a new TV? Goodbye all recordings!). What software or tools do we need to download so we can crack the DRM or decrypt the videos per TV model?
@@TechFigure Turns out there are actually some hacking & decryption tools on GitHub for extracting decryption keys from LG & Hisense TV's but sadly you have to self compile & sadly the instructions are written in a way that you need to be an IT guru just to make any sense of it. This kind of "piracy" should be easier by now. Miss the days when you could record a tape then watch on any VCR.
Seems so simple with the HISENSE.I got a DAEWOO but the tv programms i record on my tv are on a pvr format and cannot be played even in my DAEWOO.The file is not supported it says..
Hi. Interesting video. I bought a U7B yesterday and have been trying to record to hd. All is fine but the way to record a series seems complicated. Like your TV, if you say record more than one episode the TV asks if this is daily, weekly, what time and what day. Is there a simpler series link option like a set top box? Any advice would be appreciated. 😉
@@TechFigure Thank you; that's what I thought. It's an amazing TV for the money. I have a much more costly Samsung in my study but to be honest, I think I prefer the Hisense. It was certainly simpler to get a picture I felt happy with. Keep safe. 😉
@@TechFigure that's what I thought as well. I have pushed every red button on that remote and still got nothing. If you do get a menu there is no delete option.... Maybe if I ring hisense they may know (not holding my breath 😞)... Thanks for the reply.
Hey my tv is a hisense 43A7100F and the settings of PVR and time shifting does not show here does ir have the PVR option or what i need to do to make it available
My Samsung Smarthub Tv didn’t have a record button on its remote but I had an older Samsung remote that had a red record button on it and when I had the usb hard drive plugged in and pressed record on the older remote I just got a message saying “Not Available”.
I got a 50'' Hyundai Smart TV but it's not on Android, it's on Linux and I couldn't record yet. I tried with USB Flash Drive and with an External HDD. The TV reads the flash drive and the external HDD if they are in the right format but still, I can't record anything even though it says I can record for up to 200 hours with my 500 GB external HDD. I wonder if I need to download an app or something.. because this is Linux, not Android.
I'll have to update my older "e-motion" TV (with PVR) to a new PVR TV. My older one was fine at transferring to my PC for playback (MPEG-2 TS video) so it looks like there is some variability in which TVs can do that? (file type)
Sure, if one's Hisense (or any other TV) has a record button function on their TV. The later versions (2020) don't have record buttons on their remotes. Yours must be a dated model. I've been searching for months. Samsung has this feature on some of their latest ones. Really wanted a new Hisense H65 series, but no record button on remote.
i have 2 pvr's, one for backup a few years ago. Their remotes have a REC button. One lasted about a year and then i used the backup one which was rarely used and after only a month or so i can't even turn it on/ Something about their remotes it seems. press the wrong button on it and it seems to put them in useless state. You cannot use a universal remote on these pvrs and you cannot view anothe channel while recording. Wonderful gadget for its price, but don not expect longivity/
I have a SMART TV and can record programs on my USB. However, whilst recording I can't seem to watch another different program. Is there a way without having to purchase a DVD?
No, I'm still dealing with VCR and digitalization. USB capturers don't convince me when it comes to quality of image. Is there a way to record tapes directly into an external Hdisk or pendrive? I'm really tired of video capture software and its many formats, plus philips doesn't cover repairings for hdd3455 recorder, which made it simple easy and allowed me to forget about quality/format :(
I have an old sky box that subscription ends in two days. I still want to record and have a Sony Bravia TV. What's the best way forward for me. I'm a bit of a dinosaur so go slow haha
No there isn't an option only scheduled which is the red button. There is no record button when the PVR is showing. I'm ripping my hair out how to record from the PVR to my USB.
I've figured it out. Go into PVR go to the programme you want to record then press the timeshare button, the one with a right arrow and down vertical lines. The on the left hand side of screen a video type box comes up, press the record (square symbol at the bottom), then it takes you to the programme set up and just click on PVR with OK. Done!
Really useful. But I'm finding that I have to watch the program I'm recording or else if I try to watch something else I am asked to save or delete the recording. Anyway to watch one show and be watching another? I have an unpartitioned 1TB external drive. Thank you
iv got about 20 movies on my hard drive when i plug it into lg or panasonic movies come up ,but when i plug it into hisense it recognises iv plugged it in and can be used but my pre recorded movies don't come up
No, not all. Most do, but if you want that function check before buying. My dad bought a smart TV that he though could record, but it doesn't. He also doesn't use the smart features on the TV.
every time i record a video onto a usb stick and then plug it into my computer it dont work? my other tv worked fine but on my new smart tv it dont, and clue as to why.....
@@TechFigure well that sucks, i guess smart tvs aint that smart after all, my old tv that wasn't a smart tv let me put the shows i recorded onto my computer.... think i might go back to the stone age, things were alot simpler and SMARTER back then..... lol
@@TechFigure i think i should buy a android box with PVR the best thing T_T, i just want the feature that i could set time and write a tv show somehow, im weak on this TV theme :(
@@TechFigure we formatted the usb stick when we got installed on the tv, it says that we need to connect a usb stick when we try to record... it says the storage device cannot be used for live playback so what would I need along with the stick to enable us to do this please?
Quick question if I am recording a show can I watch another channel I cant seem to find the option to do this. Thanks
no
great vid man - can i ask what type of USB you used? or is a generic USB drive good enough?
generic is fine just make sure its got sufficient read write speed

Hello, how do I delete any USB recordings from my Hisense 32 Inch HD VIDAA Smart TV? Can I delete them individually?
Hi, does this work for Sky Glass TVs?
There is a series which a friend is being featured that I’d like to record and keep? Thanks

No, you can only record TV footage.

Yes 👍
I have a SMART TV and can record programs on my USB. However, whilst recording I can't seem to watch another different program. Is there a way without having to purchase a DVD?
Some tv’s have this limitation. You need a Tv with at least two tuners to be able to do this.
@@TechFigure thank you
Great idea even recording such movies as Tall Girl, Tall Girl 2 with Ava Michelle Cota and Senior Year with Rebel Wilson. I stick to an external SSD
will the programs recorded onto usb just play on that tv or can they be played on another device also?
Just the tv they are encoded
@@TechFigure thanks i thought would be the case
Yup
can you watch other channels whilst recording
Maybe the latest vessel
You can do this easily on ancient VirginMedia STB's from 2014 but you can't do it with a £400+ TV from 2 years ago lol argh...
