hi justin its shanpal how can i record using HIDTV STICK USING MY GICA 1200

You will need an External SD card in order to record. Once installed, which ever channel you are on, using the remote just hit the OK button, and go to the left and click OK on the record icon, then your program should start to record, follow the same procedure to stop recording.

I just purchased an ATV1200 with a A680B HDTV stick yesterday. I install the app above but when I run HiDTV on the ATV1200 I get the following error. "Unfortunatly HiDTV has stopped". I am running Android 4.1 on the ATV1200 (out of the box).

Try uninstalling the app and re installing it again.


If you get the same issue, then try a factory reset, and then install the app.

I tried the reinstall a couple of times previously, no luck. I did a factory reset and installed it again as suggested...same results. Is there any kind of driver required for the A680B stick on the AVT1200 (I'm new to the android world) other than the HiDTV apk file?

Which version of Android came with your 1200

4.1 or 4.2?

[stompinbruce]

It advertised as 4.1 but when I looked at config on the device it says that it's 4.2.

Ok

I will have to ask for an update for a new APK file that supports 4.2


I will push to have it ready by Wed of next week.

Sorry about this.

That would be great!
