Try running update for the box you havnt stated whether Mac or username and password bud

The box isn't ticked is it for username and password if you go into settings the box may need an update nd some portals don't use port number I had simular issue when I got mine and an update sorted that

Yeah I’ve got a fair few amiko a6 for mates and family

I like the A6 a lot.

Q. Is there a minimum USB drive, SIZE, needed to record? 4GB seems too small. I recall mention of someone using 256GB?

The Amiko overall gets my vote.

4gig is small for recording anything from 64gig upwards

 

[Ryanm56]

You can always add external drive

 

[PCM]

Thank you.

5 gig is about the size req for 1 and a half hours of HD content.

 

[m4u]

16gb minimum. But I'd go with 256gb stick or a hdd

For the cost its a no brainer and a great choice i love the quality remote control they do very responsive. I would get at least a 64GB usb for recording.

 

[PCM]

Thank you.
Sorry to ask, but...
I have plugged in a 64Gb memory stick.
If... I press the RED Record button, it 'appears' to record, but when I try to Playback, no files exist.
Is there anything obvious I need to do?
Regards.

Only set one of these up never owned one but from memory youll need to setup the recording directory, think thats is under Settings-System-PVR-Recording

Not convinced there is a need to record IPTV most have catchup and for ppv they normally put the big fights in VOD

Thank you, I'll try that suggestion.

I don't want to record often, just VERY occasionally when I need to be elsewhere. Fair point.

Never come across catch up all the years I have been using IPTV , am talking live sport though on channels that only go live at match time mainly. Am actively looking for an android box now that I can use to record on.

I have an Amiko A6. Like it a lot, just cannot get it, as yet, to record... will keep trying.

Does it have it's own live tv like a Formuler box or do you have to install an app like tivimate or im player ?

 

[PCM]

It came with an App. Works well. ( TVPlayer, I think.)

 

[bazcfc1]

The amiko a6 does come with its own iptv and are able to record on it also not a bad little box for £60 but if you want a better spec box then go with the formuler range
