    hello everyone and happy christmas and new year to you all.

    i have an Opticum X7 HD XTS 703P combi digital receiver and i record from it onto a usb key plugged into the back of it.

    My problem is that each recording i make only lasts for 1 hour 59 minutes and some seconds....then it stops recording....
    Anyone know how i can extend the recording time to say 3 or 4 hours per recording?
    the usb key is 128 G so it can take quite a lot of recordings.
    an example of my problem is that last night i wanted to record downton abbey at 9pm till 11pm.....i had to go out at 8pm so not knowing how to set the recorder "in advance" i just started recording at 8pm.....when i got home it had recorded for 2 hours and switched off after just an hour of downton abbey. !! :-(
    i cant find any settings that look like they wud extend the recording time but maybe i just dont know what im supposed to be looking at.....ive got the user manual for the recorder but its in pidgeon english so not a lot of help there.
    Would appreciate any help you guys can come up with.
    thanks a million.
    mike
