Damn I’d just stepped out earlier and noticed your post. Was hoping to check one of those 4.2.2 feeds on my setup. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to do it tomorrow. If you do pull in another 4.2.2 feed let us know. Thanks
Insert a USB Stick and try recording similar content to it. Play back that content and compare it to the play back on the SD card. Also remove the SD from the Combo and try playing it back on a PC for comparison. I wouldn’t recommend an SD card for heavy read/write operations. One way of killing the card.
Same.
There’s plenty of discussion papers on the pros and cons of each media format on the web. Here’s a basic outline of one. Store video files on USB, SD card, microSD, or external hard drive?
Unfortunately I can’t test that for you (don’t have an LG) but for anyone with an Android based TV you can install the GT Media app GTShare. It’s optimised to display the output from GT Media products.
Have you tried installing GT Share on the Combo. You should be able to view that feed in real time.
The recordings are on the card(s), it's just on playback I can sometimes receive the audio, and yet other times it is silent.
As I mentioned unless I could reproduce the conditions it’s impossible to provide a solution. @tompouce has indicated he is experiencing no difficulties when recording to a USB stick. The problem may lie outside the Combo. Try loading the recorded results into VLC where you can inspect them further for any anomalies and do report your issue to the GT Media forums where they address it in further detail.
Just checked, the recordings on the SD card play back perfectly on the laptop. No time to verify the USB stick at the moment.
Earlier in the thread when I suggested you try your recordings in a PC your replied “same” so I assumed you were experiencing the same issues playing them on a PC.
Your suggestion was
The purpose of my original suggestion was to compare playback of recorded material on an SD card in the Combo v playback of the same material on the SD card on a PC. Following that I suggested trying the same experiment using a USB stick this time and possibly as a third experiment using a USB hard disk. The purpose of this was to demonstrate the read/write access times of each media and how any lag in the read/write operation COULD cause syncing issues between video and audio output. That’s why I posted the link to the discussion on this subject.
Well, I can now say that I am very unlikely to buy anything from that website ("PowerPlanetonline" in Spain) again, and I wouldn't advise amyone else to either (unless they were "desperate"), OR to use the NACEX courier service which they use (and I'd never heard of till last week) - & final delivery in the UK appears to have been by Speedlink.Update:
Having had a look at the GTMedia Shop which quoted me 105 Euros, I came across TV / IPTV / SAT Receivers which quoted 92 Euros including delivery by Mon 14th March - then again I wonder if HMRC will charge any Duty/VAT before I get it as it's actually appears to be coming from Spain????
Well, maybe next week('ish) then
Well, I can now say that I am very unlikely to buy anything from that website again, and I wouldn't advise amyone else to either (unless they were "desperate"), OR to use the NACEX courier service which they use (and I'd never heard of till last week)
To cut a very long story short, I ordered and paid for it on Mon 8th March but it wasn't shipped until Friday 11th March - even though, according to their Ts & C's it should have been shipped with 24th hrs of payment on a weekday. - and I didn't get confirmation of shipment until Mon 14th March, after I chased them.
After that, the tracking trail was long and tortuous - see the jpg below which tracks it up to the 18th - and that hasn't changed since then! Therefore I chased them again this morning, only to be told they didn't know where the package was and would have to interrogate the courier, but not heard any back from them yet.

Nevertheless, in the meantime earlier today (and whilst I was out) the package did actually arrive here - but they don't know that! Thus I now have my Combo to examine & test out.
The ONLY saving grace of this chaos was that I got it for just over £75 delivered, which is a little lower than most places elsewhere, and that PowerPlanet claim to offer a 3 yrs warrantee - though whether I'd actually bother (dare??) to send it back to them after this shipment fiasco is entierly another issue
