Recording with Netgem 4k box

Normy — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 14:56:22 GMT

I've set up my new Netgem box. Am I understanding this right that the box does not have internal recording capability and I have to buy a large capacity USB stick? And then format myself? Funny how Talktalk never mentioned this at renewal.

Also I read on another topic that I still won't be able to watch one channel while recording another. That can't be right surely?

When I look at the Talktalk website it seems to show a different hub to the one I've been given. Talktalk say that there's no need to record bu that's nonsense because not all programmes ate available after broadcast.

The Netgem box does require a USB stick to record, we recommend a good quality 256Gb usb stick as this is big enough.

Also, as the box only has a single tuner you cannot record a channel whilst watching another, however if you have an aerial splitter you can watch another channel directly on the TV via it's own tuer.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply but that feels like a massive backward step for our needs. We'll go back to the old box.

OK, but the industry as a whole is now moving towards an online streaming model as other companies are starting to provide streaming boxes, so this is not just Talk Talk.

Thanks
