Ferguson Ariva 102e HD - pvr ready?

[Satphoenix]

My Ferguson Ariva 102e HD crashed before I was able to test the pvr-function.
I sent it back (money back) but I'm not sure to buy a new one because it is written on it that it has no pvr-function?!

I used (for a short time untill it crashed) the patched software 1.22b5.
My question is if the avira 102 with this software has the pvr-function to record via usb to a connected hd?

OK, then I believe in this function, but in germany it's a bit strange because on the manual it's written that this function does not work on 102e receivers in germany!
Perhaps a licence problem here?!

Ok, you can't watch on pc, but you can Watch on the ariva, this function is ok, no?

...you can't watch on pc...

Can't watch on pc?
Why that?
When I connect a hdd or an usb-stick the receiver will write a ts-file with the video and audio stream, or am I wrong?
And this ts-file can be watched with vlc or equal players.

If the channel is cripted, you can't Watch on PC, but only via ariva. IS a protection system

I see, you're right. The fta channels can be watched via vlc and other media players, the original encrypted channels (which were e. g. decrypted via cs) are written encrypted to usb-medias.



Is there a known program/possibility to decrypt them and watch them via pc?

Re: Ferguson Ariva 102e HD - pvr ready?

so take care about pvr label on the box !

pvr ready : able to record

- on hard disk ? yes
- local ?
- usb ?
- remote ?
- samba ?
- nfs ?

in ts format:
- undrypted ?
- crypted ?

-> what a jungle to buy one !
is the salesman really acquainted of all of this ?
at money back garantee ?

so we need to make it clear before buying between:
- the pvr as pvr-to-clear-ts-crypted and
- the pvr as pvr-to-clear-ts-clear

and even further more, subject local (national) legals ...
