Smart TV - PVR Recording Programs With A USB Stick & Hard Drive!

Smart TV, PVR Recording Programs With A USB Stick & Hard Drive on my Hisense TV!
Hey Guys! In this video I show you how I record and pause live TV on my Hisense TV using its PVR App!
Like the familiar VCR, a PVR records and plays back television programs, but, unlike the VCR, it stores the programs in digital (rather than analog) form. Like a VCR, a PVR has the ability to pause, rewind, stop, or fast-forward a recorded program. Because the PVR can record a program and replay it almost immediately with a slight time lag, what seem to be live programs can be manipulated as though they were recorded programs!

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

[@brandonspencer309]

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

[@edvando1258]

Hi, I’ve brought a usb stick 3.0. I can record and watch but can’t pause live tv.

[@hakemblue]

i need to play the records on PC but the format is unknown *anyone knows anything about what type of formate these records have??*

[@chico_off_a_bean552]

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”.

[@gotcha1737]

USB BUT NO RECORD BUTTON ON REMOTE MMMMM?THANKS

[@marcopolimeni2356]

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.

[@TechFigure]

It's a similar scenario with Hisense

[@marcopolimeni2356]

​@@TechFigure Thanks

[@bigjoeangel]

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.

[@fredheath9490]

[@nippynige8523]

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]

I don't think it has that functionality..it's got the standard VCR functions 🤓👍

[@nippynige8523]

@@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. 😉

Hello mate, just a simple question. Can you record gaming footage with Pvr? And if the answer is yes, what is the quality of it?

[@TechFigure]

No, you can only record TV footage.

Can you do this method with any smart tv with a remote control with a record button?

[@TechFigure]

Yes sure

[@suehead109]

I just bought a Samsung QN90 tv but there s no rec button on the remote

[@FIFA07Pro]

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.

[@darlingtoncd]

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)

Quick question a year after the event ..... but how do you delete a recorded program off the USB stick ? ( Hisense U7G)

[@TechFigure]

You should be able to delete it while it’s plugged into the tv 📺

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 :(

can you watch other channels whilst recording

[@TechFigure]

Yes

[@c2jones]

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.

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.

[@susan9188]

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!
