Ok thanks, I must be missing something then. I will have to dig into it 
deeper..If it works for you then it should work for me also.. I have 3 
sources for recordings,HD-PVR,Pvr-150,and a HDHR.. I had it working ,but 
there has been a lot of firmware updates since then and i suspect Sony 
has changed something..
Thanks again...
