DVD Player or CD Player not Reading Discs? Easy Fix!

You put your DVD into the player or your Computer Optical Drive and it whirrs away, stops, and whirrs again and them after a little while ejects the CD? It is an easy fix! You just need a DVD Cleaning Disc. The DVD had two laser optics, a low power tracking optic, and a high power reading optic. Dust on the lenses refracts and scatters the beam and makes it unable to read the tracks, so the device software normally tries three times and then abandons the task. The cleaning discs are inexpensive to purchase in Walmart or on Amazon worldwide for $7 to $15 depending on brand. https://www.google.com/search?q=DVD+Cleaning+Disc ..

Why is my hopper saying starting up? It's been over 3 hours and saying same thing

If your Hopper is stuck on "Starting up" and it has been more than three hours, it's possible that there is an issue with the receiver that needs to be resolved. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the cables: Make sure that all cables connected to the Hopper are secure and properly connected. If any cables are loose, disconnect them and reconnect them to ensure a secure connection.
  2. Power cycle the Hopper: Try unplugging the Hopper from the power source and waiting for about 30 seconds before plugging it back in. This will perform a power cycle, which may help to resolve the issue.
  3. Check the signal strength: If the Hopper is having trouble connecting to the satellite, it may be because of a weak signal. Check the signal strength by going to the "Settings" menu and selecting "Signal Strength." If the signal strength is weak, adjust the satellite dish to improve the signal.
  4. Contact technical support: If none of these steps work, you may need to contact your service provider's technical support team for further assistance. They may need to perform some diagnostic tests or send a technician to check the Hopper.
Regarding the code you saw this morning, it's possible that the hard drive on the Hopper is full and can no longer record or pause live TV. If this is the case, you will need to delete some recordings to free up space on the hard drive. You can also try connecting an external hard drive to the Hopper to expand its storage capacity.

Recording to flash drive not working

Here is how to set up USB recording.
  1. Connect the USB HDD to a free USB port on the back of the TV.
  2. The USB hard drive now needs to be formatted (all data will be deleted).
  3. Most TVs help you to format the USB HDD automatically but on some models you need to enter the menu and select format HDD (or something similar).

The drive on my 44" z master is very jumpy. The hydraulic tank blows out oil after use.

Is your main drive belt ok? Not the deck belt, the belt that goes around your pro/clutch assembly and goes around the 2 Hydraulic Wheel Motors/Pumps? Check it out! 5f03eb99-e504-4adc-be0e-0b1ec10cd5cd-3nk5q2nvk0p34rogxdm4jhzi-4-5.jpeg

I have god tv an I put a flashdrive in usb slot now i don't have the remote how can I select the sub drive to watch my movie's

You should have a remote control to select the TVs inputs. If you wish to buy its original remote control, contact the authorized service centre, or authorized dealer to your device brand. They can either give you a genuine remote control to your device, or can direct you, from where can you purchase a suitable one. To select a proper universal remote control, you should know about the number of digits to its set-up codes. There are 3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit, 2 digit and even single digit codes, to some brand devices. After confirming this, check the sites linked here. Both the sites have set-up code list and set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. Check which brand remote control has set-up code/s to your device brand, and buy that one according to availability. Brand name of the remote control isn't a matter, but it should have set-up codes in its code list, to the device brand you have. Please note: Every new universal remote control will have set-up code list, and set-up procedure along with its pack. Never accept a remote control, that hasn't both of this. For more details about the set-up codes, visit the sites. http://homenol.blogspot.com/ http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/ http://remotesearch.blogspot.com/ http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/ Universal remote controls are available at most of the electronic spare part selling shops. Visit some on-line sites too, which deals with electronic spare parts. Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; to which you want set-up codes; in the "Search box at the top right of the display window" to get gathered related posts. {View the site in web view or by a desktop to see the search box. Mobile view has no search box.}

I want to record sky onto an external hard drive as my sky is full I have been told this is possible but only on live program

This is indeed possible. You probably have a recorder from Humax. Make sure that you remove everything from the harddrive via the computer and that you then click with the right mouse button on the harddrive. Then click on Format this drive. Make sure you format it as FAT32. After this, plug it in the recorder via the USB port. It should give a message that you plugged in a harddrive. After this, you should be able to save the recordings on it.
