Any 4DTV / HDD200 users? Need help!
After months of trying, I still can't get things working properly. My worst problem is missing channel changes, or having recordings chopped up by retunes. I have the R5000 mod in my HDD200 and am using an IRblaster to tune the 4DTV. If anyone here has this hardware configuration, I'd like to compare notes. Questions:
1. Do you set SageTV to always tune the channel, even if there is no channel change? 2. Do you set the R5000 software to surf mode? If so, what have you set the 'resend sat code' time to? |

Maybe this will give you some help or maybe not. I just retired my 4DTV system. It recorded on SageTV and changed channels perfectly. It sounds like we have a similar setup. I would still be using my 4DTV setup but nothing is ala-carte anymore it became costly. I was getting my programming from callnps.com Answer to Question#1 - I set SageTV to tune every time. It would even retune if it was on the same satellite and channel. The "ExeTuner" plugin sent the channel to the "Girder" software which decided if a dish move or channel change was needed. If it was the same it did nothing, otherwise it changed the channel via the USB-UIRT. Answer to Qeusion#2 - I don't have an r5000 so I'm not sure how it functions with the 4dtv unit. As I can guess it is just a tuner / decoder for the digital signal. With my old setup I'm sure that tuning / sending the channel information from SageTv to the r5000 would have been similar. Here is how I did the channel changes to the 4DTV unit. SageTV --> EXETuner --> Girder --> USB_UIRT --> 4DTV Here is URL to the forum that gave me the most information. http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...xetuner+plugin

![]() OP: Are you using the or are aware of the old Tape-it-all software to change channels? It worked 95% right for me over the years? Edit to add: I did not have an R5000HD for BUD . My 4DTV/Sagetv system was SD only

With the ExeTuner and the registry settings it is pretty safe. The setting is not critical and can be changed as needed since it only affects the output from SageTV during a channel change.
