Tv recording/time-shift options (1 Viewer)

[enricong]

I'm using a HD-PVR2.

Recording and time-shift works, however, how can I adjust the quality. How do I make sure that it is using the HD-PVR2 internal encoder and how can I adjust the bitrate?

Hello enricong

How do I make sure that it is using the HD-PVR2 internal encoder...

You wouldn't be able to use any other encoder. In other words, if timeshifting and recording is working with the HD-PVR2 then the HD-PVR2 internal encoder is being used. Same applies for HD-PVR1 and Colossus.

... and how can I adjust the bitrate?

Try the settings here:

They may or may not have any effect. People have said those settings work for HD-PVR1; I know they don't work for Colossus and I suspect they won't for HDPVR2... but worth a shot regardless. I have plans to add the ability to control the Colossus bitrate with MP2 Native TV. If the settings don't work please let me know.

Clicking "Check" allows me to access the settings.
I'll try playing with the settings to try and see if it makes a difference

Yeah, that would work for the Colossus too. Problem is that changing the settings doesn't actually register at the driver level.

it seems to have no affect for me too. I'm just wondering what settings it actually uses.
Is there some default for every driver? or does it use the last used settings?

There are defaults for every driver... and the driver may remember and reuse the last settings as default.
