Hello Khalid,

how to configure the universal remote?
Hi guys which company manufacture the DVR is it good Company and how about the software related issues..
is the STB is hanging problem
Well Manufacture is Hundai, So we will have DVR box from Hundai.
In what format will it record ? Do the user have a choice to record in any desired format like MPEG – 2 MPEG – 4 VOB ? Will it be possible to transfer the recorded content on the internal Hard Disk onto an External Hard Disk ?
I dont think they will allow you to transfer the recorded content as it will increase piracy…
Can we record the another channel while watch some other, like in Tata sky plus record serial while watching match.
Also is there any additional charges for that?
Can I connect the HDMI port to my LCD instead of component video?
How is the reliance customer care, I heard they are very bad.
I also heard that Reliance normal STB hangs a lot and easily get heated up.
Can I schedule recording in it, and how much power will it draw if I want to record something at night, and keep it on for full night. I don’t think it has auto sleep mode like Tata Sky.
How is the audio and video clarity different from the normal STB. I know there is only one HD channel Nat Geo and that is also of not much use for me.
Hello Priyank, Thanks for your questions, here is your answers:
– Yes you can record another channel while watching other channel, you just need to make sure that your STB is either on or stand by mode.
– No their is no extra charges!
– Yes you can.
– Well overall it’s not bad,it’s same like others! It was past when we had problems but now a days you might never need to call customer care.
– That’s not true for overall, it have some issue in STB2 Model due to improper software updates but it will short out soon. Also Reliance BIG TV HD DVR STB is far better then normal STB.
– No as long as you have space you can record anything for longer time! There is no problem!
- – It definatly give more clear pictures then normal STB thanks to their firmware version so you will feel better qulaity. We all knows Reliance BIG TV have best picture qulaity in Indian DTH industry.
Hope you get your answers! If you have any more question, do ask here I love to answer it!
dvr is very best tv box
Will all channels be in their true and natural aspect ratio of 16:9 or only the HD channel Nat Geo? I have HD TV set and when I watch SD channels with Reliance old analogue STB, I have to distort the channels and elongate the picture horizontally to fill the wide 16:9 screen or else the SD channels which are in 4:3 aspect ratio have black stripes at the left and right of the screen. Please shed some light on this. Thanks.
Well Nat Geo HD comes with true 16:9 aspect ratio while rest of channels comes with original aspect ratio which provided by broadcasters, so it all depends on broadcasters.
How to configure the Reliance HD DVR’s universal remote? Anybody who has done it? Please reply! Thanks.
how to record reliance hd dvr? please reply
When we pay Rs.4990 – 500(for old STB) = 4490. Will we own the HD – DVR or will it be Reliance’s property? Have you bought it? How is your experience?
Whom do we pay the amount to get the new HD-DVR? Do we pay the people who come to fix it? Thanks. Amit Patel
Hello Amit,
Well when you a purchased a connection, Reliance HD DVR STB is Reliance’s property so you will not be owner of STB. Also you can purchase connection from R-World or any Reliance BIG TV Dealers! You need to pay amount to that shop owners to complete your order!
Thank you very much for your response.
How is your experience with HD-DVR? Are you satisfied? Does it skip ads while recording?
