I set up a dummy channel, can press the "C" button and it changes to the
S-video port on the PVR-350. I can see the video playing from my
Camcorder on the TV! I set it to record (made a 'manual' recording
schedule, and it appeard to be recording, because I went back to the
"watch recordings" part of the GUI and it was red on the top, showing it
was recording). The trouble is - when it was done, the recorded program
didn't show up in the "recorded programs" part of the GUI. I can't find
where the file was recorded to - I did a search on the hard drive
(recorded on 1/12/06)
find / | grep *20060112* and it came up blank.....
Any ideas?
