Re: Roku stick has killed Optik box HDMI
My local Telus tech gave me a cable for this output. Only video out that works is the single yellow one, no settings had changed on the box. Tried the HDMI codec enabled, also tried all resolution/screen sizes. No good still so the HD output is screwed. Guess I will be stuck with getting a new box that can't retain any favourite recordings.426Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roku stick has killed Optik box HDMI
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried & no different. The box must still be alive because the WiFi box can see the recordings etc. I'm assuming something with the newer Roku device screwed up the Optik box HDMI output via the splitter but I don't know how that's possible. Is the small round connection some kind of video output that might allow me to view on a small tv to troubleshoot?540Views0likes2CommentsRoku stick has killed Optik box HDMI
I wanted a way to appletv+ but didn't want to lose the Optik pvr box. Telus tech suggested adding a Roku, just installed & plugged Roku into HDMI splitter that connects my devices to TV. Now there is no output from HDMI of Optik, tried unplugging everything, changing cables, left Roku unplugged but Optik still not working. Just plugged in the secondary wireless Optik box & that works (not plugged Roku in in case this box dies too). Are the HDMI outputs incompatible somehow between older Optik & newer devices. Can't troubleshoot Optik box as I can't see it's output.626Views0likes8CommentsAny way of keeping select recordings on new Digital Box
I googled the question and the Google AI gave a response which I don't think is correct, saying you can select 'Save until I delete' to keep select recordings. I think that is only for the older Optik box that I currently have. I would have expected we be limited on storage space in the cloud just like the PVR, not just delete every old recording. My wife has things on the PVR that are rewatched time and again. Really looking for a definitive answer. Would like to get the new box to watch Apple TV that I subscribed to but can't live with old recordings all disappearing.Solved654Views0likes5Comments
