Hey Joe,
I would play it back with XBMC or VLC on my PC, except as my other posting about file extensions states, the naming of subsequent files as .001, 002, 003 makes that impossible. I haven't seen any other STB do this. I hope the A3 handles these 2 problems differently as it is literally a show stopper for me. Also, fast forwarding through a 8 hour recording has resulted in black screens and sync problems with the Alien 2.
Thanks for your reply.
