GTMEDIA GTX/Combo will not record

Post by wildboys »

Hello I cannot get the GTX/Combo to record anything to any of my flash drive or local drive.
When I hit the record button the picture freezes and nothing is recorded. Does anyone know how to fix this thanks?

What settings should I make so that programs are recorded to the hard disk? When writing, the hard disk is not initiated. Thank you.

There should be a menu setting in the DVB app to select what drive your PVR's are recorded on.

Check you have that set.

I have issues with my SSD 2Tb drive not working in my GTX.
I also set it up using the android menu.

I can't make a choice. This function doesn't work for me.

That is because the drive is not "Seen".

Is it a SSD, solid state drive, or a hard disc drive?

My GTX would work with an old Hard drive, but not with the 2Tb SSD.

I have a 250 GB SSD drive. Write down how you set it up. I don't see the point in buying a 2TB SSD drive if this one doesn't work properly. Thank you.

My problem is I have tried to get it to work and failed!

I first did the formate in the GTX unit like the picture you posted.
Did "see" it, but not for long.
Any boot with the SSD in does not complete correctly.

Lining recommended formatting it on a PC using the full long format method.
My PC gives up part way through.
The quick format in the PC works, but still it does not work in the GTX.

I had wondered if the power use by the SSD is too high for the GTX drive slot.
I had seen it work once for a moment and after it was gone all the USB ports stopped working as well.
5 volts failed?

The SSD is spec'd at 1A while the old hard drive only 0.5A.

I'll try to format it on a PC first, as I wrote Lining. I'll write the result in the evening. I don't understand why there are such difficulties with the hard drive??? It could have been made easier. (installed, formatted and everything works).

Formatted the hard drive on the PC the result is negative. GTMEDIA GTX Combo doesn't work with my hard drive. There are no problems on the PC and the Zgemma h9 twin receiver, everything is detected and works. Something was overdone with the software.

I had wondered if the 5 volt power supply was not up to the peak demand of the SSD.
To one time I did get the ssd to boot after pressing many buttons on the remote into the blank screen after boot, it crashed and all the USB ports also crashed.
It is a tiny ribbon cable connecting the drive slot to the main board.
My SSD is spec'd at 5V 1A. Even if the supply to the drive board is 12v, that is still 0.416A.

It may be software too.
