Bell pvr 5900 won't work

My pvr is basically only a receiver anymore. I cannot rewind, record or pause tv, live or pre-recorded. I have about 12 hours of recorded movies on the hard drive, which should leave around 68 hours free, however, the pvr says it's full. It also erases protected programs and does not acknowledge any new free space.

SOURCE: can i clean my hard drive of unwanted files not just deletethem?

Your first check should be the add/remove applet in Control Panel. Uninstall any programs that you no longer use. This is the safest way to free up space.
You only need to delete any files that you don't need, and then empty the recycle bin. But be very careful what you delete, or you may find your computer wil no longer run. You don't need a special program to do this.

SOURCE: No free space on d drive

hmmm..well..this is not going to make you happy. Just did one of those myself, and had to re format the drive. You need at least 15% space to move around on a drive, and this one is most likely a virtual drive(carved out from C)..so, right click on it, and select format.

ALL your data is lost. Only other thing you might try is a remote backup of that drive.

SOURCE: Is there a stereo input for the Dell Inspiron 1100 to record?

Yes, the input is stereo BUT you need to configure Audacity to do the stereo capture. Go to File > Preferences. Once in the preferences dialog, go to the third Drop-down menu, and change from MONO to 2-channel stereo. That is.

SOURCE: My D: drive is 99% full how do I free up disk space ?

Music, video and pictures use the most hard drive space. Store them on a disc or on line storage site. After the delete or removing as advised, defrag you hard drive. This should free up space. Get rid of any programs you don't use. As long as you don't delete hidden files you should be fine. Hope this helps. If you are using windows XP go to start, control panel add and remove programs and delete only the programs that you installed and remove only them.

SOURCE: Won't boot from dvd or

Depends on what you mean by won't boot from DVD or Hard Drive,
it sounds like your boot order is what you're looking for help for.

To do this you need to get into your computers BIOS (or "Setup")
You can do this by rebooting the computer and the very very very first screen you see tells you how,
usually by pressing DEL or F2 or F10.

Without knowing the specific computer you're looking for help on I can only point you in the right direction however keep in mind the BIOS is for advanced users only and you can damage your computer by randomly changing settings.

What you're looking for though is usually called the Boot Order or Boot Sequence
You'll need to set whatever device you want to boot from higher on the list (usually with the up arrow or PgUp)
If you don't see your device on the boot list then it may not be detected due to failure.

Bell PVR recordings to flash drive..will it play on a media player?

Greetings from Toronto! Also a Bell Fibe and Internet customer.

Try it, but USB Ports on such devices are there to update firmware or for an engineer to connect a laptop. having said that, all this says "yes you can".

On your Bell Satellite TV remote control, press menu. Scroll to and select Multimedia. Scroll to and select External Hard Drive. Scroll to and select Archive recordings.

What do you do when your pause and rewind are not working on live tv programs?

Did they work before? For example, I bought my son a Samsung TV and the remote had rewind, pause etc. on the remote but they did not work. This is because the smart TV did not record the live image to allow this feature as it did not have any built in hard drive and I had to add a memory stick or hard drive into the USB port on the TV to allow the rewind, record and pause to work.

DVR refuses to rewind or pause live TV or record

ruukasu2005,

If you are still experiencing problems with your 625 receiver performing live DVR functions, try unplugging the receiver for about 10 seconds and plugging back in. This will cause the receiver to reboot and acquire satellite signal. After the picture returns, then try to pause. If it still doesn't work, then we may need to replace the receiver. I hope this helps.

I can't pause or rewind my moveie

fktrejo,

When you try to use the DVR features, do you get an error message (024 or 311)? Have you unplugged your 625 receiver yet? If not, unplugged the receiver for about 10 seconds and plug back in. This will cause the receiver to reboot and acquire satellite signal. When the picture comes back on, try to pause. If it still doesn't work, we may need to replace the 625 receiver. I hope this helps.

Dvr not working. Won't record, pause rewind

Try unplugging the unit from the electrical outlet for about five minutes- much longer than required- and try it again. If this fails you will need a service technician to resolve the issue. Thanks for using Fix Ya.
