Thank you for the info!!! Most welcomed!!!

It's looks as if I have been thwarted in my task to record Stars TV. Ah well!

I have not tried recording to a USB stick as I don't have a spare kicking around. I'm trying to think of other ways around this problem. Hmm...interesting about what happened in your situation.

Well this is interesting! I started off the recorder this morning and even though it was still playing through on HDMI, when I checked playback the screen went blank after about 10 minutes which brings me nicely to this. I wonder if Stars TV are using some kind of copy protection on the music...

Right!!! I'm trying something different. I have roughed up the jack plug to see if that improves the connection. I will try it again tomorrow morning. As for the resolution, I have tried all ways. Let's see what happens.

HI EVERYONE! Well, this is a humdinger of a problem! I have connected the Octagon to a different input on the HDD/DVD machine...and you can view as it is going through by the HDMI output of the recorder. I did record some from things from the box with no issue. Tried again this morning and...

Glad to be able to help!!!

Here are the photos and info needed for the Octagon SX 88SE UHD box, to record to external source. On the photo of the plug, working from left to right, TIP (1ST SECTION) IS GREEN CENTRE RGB (2ND SECTION) IS BLUE CENTRE RGB (3RD SECTION) IS RED CENTRE RGB (4TH SECTION) IS...

Certainly! I'll do that as soon as I can. Pics to follow!!!

Hi again everyone! Well, it's good news, I have sorted the issue. I did try all my other composite leads, but nothing worked. The one thing that has worked is an RGB cable from a Technika TV that I bought earlier this year. I have had to switch a couple of leads around, but it WORKS! So...

Thank you all for the replies. Yes, my next task is to check all cables with my multimeter and also to swap the connections around. I think it's called trial and error. I'll post about my findings when I've exhausted all other options. :-respekt

Hi everyone. I have been trying with different cables to get the composite video and audio to work properly on my UHD box. On HDMI, all fine. I have no less than three of these cables with the jack plug at the end and each one gives different problems. I get audio but no video with one...

Yeah, I have watched this and was horrified at this installation - very poor and that's at best! I was just about hyperventilating!:D

I am very tempted by your offer, Sir!

That's the big question! I have not tried it yet but don't see any reason why it shouldn't. IF it works, then I will have a bargain and this will be my first Alsat motor.
