Want to be able to record every episode of your favorite TV Programs with just the click of a button? Now you can – STRONG introduces SSR for Digital Video Recorders.
STRONG announces Smart Series Record
So what is SSR? When you bring up the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) on your DVR and select the program you wish to record, you then select the SSR option and your DVR will search the EPG for the program title and automatically record it. The Program Title is embedded in the EPG text broadcasted by the Networks. So if your ‘Show’ is on channel 2 at 8:30 pm every Monday night and suddenly changes to 7:30pm on Wednesday night, your DVR will record it for you. Add to that if the program on before the one you wish to record is running late your DVR will adjust the record time so you don’t miss the end of your show; like that NEVER happens right?
Smart Series recording available from DVR EPG
Initially launched on the SRT 7000, it is now available (or will be very shortly) on most STRONG DVRs; SRT 5495A/T, SRT 5498, SRT 5495/5492 etc. A simple update of software will bring this feature to life on your current DVR. Visit http://www.strong.com.au/software.html for the latest software update for your model.

Posted by Satellite Repair Services | November 25, 2011, 12:14 PMI’d constantly want to be update on new content on this site, saved to bookmarks!
Posted by Virginie | November 25, 2011, 12:18 PMEven after this upgrade this firmware is still very unintuitive and downright cumbersome to use. Are your engineers ever actually using these devices?
Posted by Tony | December 5, 2011, 1:07 AMHi, we’re open to feedback so please give us some examples of how you think we can improve. Which model do you do the software update?
Posted by strongaustralia | December 5, 2011, 10:44 AMHi thanks for your reply. I actually conveyed my concerns about the 5495A immediately after purchase to Gavin Gardiner-Smith. I didn’t have the impression then, that there was any interest in my feedback, but it seems that (six months later) the ‘standby after..’ issue (see the important point 1.) may have been solved because of my and probably other feedbacks.
1. *I see that you fixed one of the main issues: Automatic Standby after xy Hours idle.* It remains in the setup now, where before it didn’t stick.
So I don’t have to chose between “ON or OFF after recording” when setting a timer, which was particularly annoying in Chase Play, as the machine didn’t realise that someone was actually watching a timer programmed feature, and switched off while I was watching. The only alternative was to leave timer entries on “ON after finished recording” and waste a lot of power.
2. Why can’t I set a bookmark without the timeline being visible?
3. No matter how I set up the audio there seems to be no way to have the same volume between SD and HD channels. (using optical digital out)
4. When I start a recording (default 3 hrs) and want to limit the time to the feature that’s running by pressing record again, I have to select a time although the machine knows from the EPG what’s running and even lists it, but doesn’t give me the option to select it.
5. Very annoying is that, when listing recorded files, every recording you point at actually starts playing. Mute at least the sound.
6. When I watch in Chase Play (show still on and recording) and want to stop watching it for it for a while, it won’t remember the spot I stopped. I’ll have to set a bookmark to find that timeline spot later again quickly, or I have to scroll through the whole recording looking for the scene where I quit watching. The STOP key should in this case stop Play only, and set a memory point instead of asking me whether I want to stop recording. This should only happen after I pressed the STOP key again.
7. When deleting files it should leave the multiple file delete mode after deleting one or more files.
8. When you transfer files you can’t watch at the same time.
9. Transfer over IP is very slow. I never use it any more. Particularly since I can’t watch anything at the same time.
Transferring is important as I use the AV input to digitise older VCR tapes. In that contents it is also annoying that recordings are chopped up into 2GB (from memory) pieces I later have to glue together again.
10. Could not find a key that gets me to the beginning or end of a recoding in one go.
11. When programming the time in a timer I have to type in every digit. Can’t go forward/backward with cursor keys. Very annoying since the remote control keys are spongy and you have to point precisely at the PVR to make it work. Miss a digit and you have to start again.
*In fact, the remote control is so hopeless that I am not using it any more, just my Logitch Harmony one. It works from much wider angles and greater distance and has proper keys.*
12. A timer record, once set, will always list the resulting recordings with the name of the show it had initially. When at any later stage the programme has changed and a different show has been recorded, it still lists it under this name. Should chose the name of the actually recorded show taken from EPG.
I realise that every person has different habits and priorities, but point 1 was a really bad one.
There are probably more niggles but that’s what came to mind now.
I suppose anyone who has had a Topfield before must be feeling the same way. They aren’t without problems either, but their handling is much smother.
A *good* thing I can say about the 5495A is that it actually physically runs well (except for the remote control) for what I use it for, I had only very few crashes.
Also, the AV input is a major positive, very good selling point.
Now that you fixed the standby issue and added the Smart Series function I may even hang on to it:)
Thanks
Tony
Posted by Tony | December 5, 2011, 1:13 PMHi Tony,
Thanks for your feedback, I will pass your comments onto the production team. This things can’t always be remedied on current/previous models, but I am sure that your comments will be looked at in reference to future software updates/new models.
Posted by strongaustralia | December 5, 2011, 1:33 PMHi, we’re open to feedback so please give us some examples of how we can improve. Which model did you do the software update?
Posted by strongaustralia | December 5, 2011, 10:44 AMThe Smart Series function is great, thanks.
I tested the Standby function.
When I set it on “standby after 2 hours”
it takes it literally. It doesn’t care if there is a recording running.
It doesn’t even save anything and just shuts down.
I would have assumed that shut down after 2 hours means shut down after “2 hours idle”.
Recording a show is not idle in my book.
It also still shuts down if a recording is finished that happens to be set on ‘shut down after recording’, even while I am playing another file.
Hey, can I offer the Strong company my consulting services for software quality control?
Posted by Tony | December 18, 2011, 4:00 PMHi Tony,
was this the Smart Series Record on the new SRT 7000, or software updated on another model? I will report this to tech, but i will need to know what model you are running.
Was this a once off or does it do it all the time?
Posted by strongaustralia | December 19, 2011, 7:54 AMIt’s a 5495A I updated.
First I thought I made a mistake but then it happened again.
See also my comments in an earlier post.
Chase Play is really not well supported.
Thanks

Posted by strongaustralia | December 19, 2011, 2:42 PMThanks, and while you are about it, there is another issue, with the AV input. When recording from a VCR there are drop-outs, which is to be expected. However, the 5495A switches to blue screen when the signal is lost for a certain time and does not come back to recording the VCR signal, even after it recovered form the drop-out. The recording has has to be manually re-started or only blue screen is being recorded. It could be a hardware issue with my machine but I doubt it. Maybe someone can investigate.
Thanks
Tony

Posted by strongaustralia | February 3, 2012, 9:48 AMHi im steve, at the moment i need help when i turn the recorder of and go back to watching the tv i get snowing no picture what is the problem can you help.
Posted by steve | December 10, 2011, 8:49 AMWhen the recorder goes to “power saving mode” it doesn’t send a TV signal to the TV.
You can fix it by using a splitter to send a signal to the TV from the antenna and to the recorder. .
Or you can try this:
(on a 5492 anyway)
push “menu” button on remote control
go to system settings
go to front panel settings
go to standby mode …… set it to “normal”.
You will now get a clock showing on the front panel when you turn off the power.
Posted by Mike | December 13, 2011, 11:39 AMThanks Mike….great job of feedback for Steve’s question. You beat me to it

Posted by strongaustralia | December 13, 2011, 2:24 PMHi,
I’m using a 5492 with software version 1.25 as this seems to be the most stable so far. Haven’t tried V 1.33 but I had to uninstall 1.30 for reasons I forget.
When I use the PAGE buttons on a recorded program (like to step through advertising) the 5492 is very likely to crash and do a startup.
If this happens while a recording is being made, then the entire recording is lost.
If I use the fast forward button, there is often no sound when I push “play” again. I have to go to “fast reverse” then “play” to get the sound back again.
When I turn the machine on there is a “woosh, woosh, woosh” sound for about a minute. Presumably this is a hard drive about to fail. Do you know if the hard drive warranty is longer than the 5492′s?
If the machine has been running for more than a day or so, then I start to get “no video, no sound” messages on a black screen. This seems to get fixed if I turn the machine off every night.
Love the picture quality, but some of this interface stuff drives me nuts.
Mike
Posted by Mike | December 10, 2011, 9:55 AM(replying to my own post)
I tried software version 1.30 and it is much more stable on my 5492.
No crashes at all in 3 days where i would normally get about 10.
There is now no control of sound level while in the program guide. There used to be.
I tried the smart series record but each program got the end trimmed off it because the transmitted program was running late. Stations are not cooperating by changing the EPG when they are running late.
Can’t add time by using the timer lead time because then consecutive programs have to use different tuners.
There is now a new hard drive formatting mode “ES1″. What is this?
Would it be possible to add a real format of the hard drive? It would take half an hour, but possibly fix accumulated errors on the drive and unallocate bad sectors, if any.
Mike
Posted by Mike | December 13, 2011, 12:10 PMHi Mike,
Unfortunately and as much as we would like to we cannot get the networks to run on time; have you tried adding padding (lead in/lead out) time to your recordings?
Ext 1 is a HDD format, it is more stable than what was previously used.
We will take the comments into account but we believe the new software will already work far better with HDD’s.
Please try the new 1.33 version, it may solve your problems.
Posted by strongaustralia | December 15, 2011, 10:31 AMRe:Do you know if the hard drive warranty is longer than the 5492′s?
My unit was just out of warranty (Strong Warranty) when the HDD failed and Strong were unwilling to assist, however I checked the HDD serial on Western Digitals warranty check website and was informed the drive was covered. An RMA was issued and after returning the old drive a new one was posted to me. Good service Western Digital. Strong – sorry, not so good.
Posted by Dave | February 6, 2012, 3:38 PMHi Dave,
when you say just out of warranty, do you mean by a few days or 6 months? All our products have a 12 month manufacturers warranty. Feedback has been noted.
Posted by strongaustralia | February 7, 2012, 11:53 AMThat should have been software version 1.33
Posted by Mike | December 13, 2011, 12:12 PMHi Mike,
i will take all of your comments back to Production/Tech for further comment if that’s OK?
Posted by strongaustralia | December 13, 2011, 2:26 PMHi,
Yes, of course. Reply by email if you like.
I should have mentioned the new feature of filling up the data on the program guide when you turn on.
Excellent feature and it works well.
Another feature I would like is to extend the 200 recordings limit. If this is arbitrary, could it be extended please?
I hit this limit before I run out of disk space most of the time.
thanks

Posted by strongaustralia | December 15, 2011, 10:22 AMHello this is peter again Today i found your new v135 update I tried to down load it but i had to save it. Now if i was able to down load it iwould be able transfer it to a usb. but as i was only able to save it will not alowe me open it.
I hope that you can help me thank you bye from Peter
Posted by mr peter Wigzell | February 23, 2012, 7:05 PMHi Peter,
save the file to the desk top (Or downloads folder in My Documents) then you can copy and paste entire file onto a usb stick. There is no need to open the file on your PC, it would not recognize the file type.
Posted by strongaustralia | February 24, 2012, 8:18 AMI noticed something else about Software version 1.33 for the 5492.
If you want to play back a recording, you go to the files list and then select a file and push “PLAY” ?
Now you can’t because the “PLAY” button is disabled in the files menu. You have to push “OK” and then it works.
“PLAY” seems more intuitive and it always worked before.
Mike
Posted by Mike | December 14, 2011, 7:06 PMHi Mike,
thanks for your comments, and your feedback has been given to the production team. I am sure you understand that when some changes are made they can alter other settings. However we are confident that most people are happy using the OK button.
Posted by strongaustralia | December 15, 2011, 10:24 AMThere is a small bug in the recorded files area.
When you choose “Lock file” this gives an entrance to the “lock channel” procedure. It even asks for a security number.
It used to just put a padlock symbol next to the file.
Mike
Posted by Mike | December 19, 2011, 12:41 AMHi Mike,
i have a tech looking into this for me
Posted by strongaustralia | December 19, 2011, 12:07 PMLook “Strong Australia” whoever you are it would make a lot more sense than rather just releasing a firmware that creates as many problems as it solves if you were to put together a list of all “faults” and “bugs” from users (believe me there are many) and have your techs work through them properly and then come back to a few testers to try the update out first before you release to the general public. If you did that you might get a lot fewer complaints (have you read the Whirlpool PVR forums lately ? – the “Strong” name there is absolutely mud). At the moment I would never ever recommend anything “Strong” to anyone after feeling totally ripped of for the $ 440 odd dollars I spent on this non user-friendly piece of rubbish. I am still using my SD Topfield as much as possible that I bought several years ago because it is head and shoulders easier and friendlier to use than the Strong.
Posted by Adam Bridge | December 27, 2011, 6:19 PMHi Adam,
Actually we do test software before release, but your comment about a customer list is something we can possibly look at as well.
Posted by strongaustralia | January 5, 2012, 2:32 PMInformed Gavin Gardiner-Smith when I bought SRT 5430 there should be a software upgrade, defined recording time is maintained, ie- if there is momentary break in recording system would recognise to keep on recording till user defined time is lapsed, I am yet to receive response from Gavin from freezing Melbourne
Posted by Chris | January 2, 2012, 5:49 AMGavin advised that this is something that they could perhaps look into, there is no software update for this feature at the moment, as was discussed with Gavin
Posted by strongaustralia | January 5, 2012, 2:28 PMI had a strange effect with the new software.
When it did the search to fill up the program guide, there was a major disturbance with pixellation on the TV screen.
This also appeared when I changed the sound level on the remote control.
During playback, there was no problem as long as I didn’t try to control the volume or step through a recording.
The fix seems to be to set the output to 1080i instead of 720p. I didn’t set the recorder to 720p but it was there after the installation of version 1.33
Anyway this fixes it.
If anyone has the same trouble, go to MENU, then System Settings, then A / V output settings
Mike
Posted by Mike | January 4, 2012, 7:12 PMHi Mike, thanks for posting the fix
Posted by strongaustralia | January 5, 2012, 1:23 PMA couple of features I would like to see on my 5492.
It would be great to be able to save the programming to a USB drive. A lot of work goes into this programming.
It would be good to have a universal stop / start on programming.
So, you could just hit one button and all programmed recording would be suspended until you hit it again.
I still get a few crashes and restarts when stepping through a recorded program, but version 1.33 seems a LOT more stable than version 1.25 which I was using before.
Posted by Mike | January 4, 2012, 7:17 PMnoted, i will pass your comments on
Posted by strongaustralia | January 5, 2012, 1:23 PMWhat about the SRT 5494 very inconvenient for other users
Posted by Joey | January 11, 2012, 5:26 PMHi,
Unfortunately the chipset on the SRT 5494 does not allow for the Smart Series Record to function.
Posted by strongaustralia | January 12, 2012, 11:16 AMThat is disappointing to hear have had many problems with this product ever since it was bought including freeze ups, power problems, not recording at scheduled times, will not record one program after another and always missing the end of my recordings, and the solutions to trying to fix these are inconvenient and time consuming and do not work/help. None of my friends with DVRs that have the same specs and price as mine have this trouble. Should of taken it back when I had the chance will not be buying strong again very disappointed!
Posted by Joey | January 12, 2012, 11:29 AMI upgraded our 5492 to v1.33 a couple of weeks ago and I *love* the new “series” recording. Thanks for that. But a couple of new bugs have appeared:
- when I FF through a recorded program, either by skipping or by the FF key, sometimes it goes backwards by 10-15 mins or more. Not gradually but suddenly you’re watching through the same program that you just watched 10-15 mins ago. And even when I’m not FF-ing, sometimes randomly 2-second bits repeat over and over and literally gets stuck.
- The skip back key is not reliable anymore as sometimes it skips back by 30 secs (which I programmed it to) and sometimes by 10 mins. This could be part of the first problem.
- These problems make the timer unreliable, because when a program goes back by 10-15 mins, you end up watching or FF-ing those 10-15 mins over again, and it’s moved along the timer as if you’re not, as if you’re just watching the program correctly. So when the timer reaches the apparent “end” of the recording, you still end up having 10-15 mins left of show playing.
- The other night a scheduled “series” recording started recording the first episode half an hour too late. The episode was on at the advertised time, so the recording should have started on time.
- I still get crashes, particularly using the skip button and the Rew. Was hoping those would be fixed
Thanks for your time.
Posted by Fiona | January 31, 2012, 9:44 PMHi Fiona,
i am forwarding this onto technical to see if anything can be offered
Posted by strongaustralia | February 2, 2012, 1:16 PMUnfortunately we are experiencing all the same problems plus a few. We have found the Series feature works intermittently at best. Another problem we get intermittently is No Sound/No Audio appearing when a preset recording starts up. Result is a failed recording and need to restart the unit to get it working again.
We have noticed that when nearing the end of a recording, slowing the FF to 4x helps reduce the looping back to start.
Posted by Dave | February 6, 2012, 3:50 PMHi Dave,
apparently there will be new software shortly. Keep an eye on the software page at http://www.strong.com.au/software.html – it will have this years date when listed
Posted by strongaustralia | February 7, 2012, 11:31 AMThe best way that Strong could fix these problems is to provide users with a full refund so that they can go and buy another recorder from a different company, one that has been properly tested by technical staff that know what they are doing. I find it impossible to believe that many of these bugs didn’t show up in testing. If not then it doesn’t say much for the testing quality control process when so many users have been afflicted with these issues since the product was released and after several “updates”.
Posted by Reg Watson | February 2, 2012, 2:49 PMHi Reg,
We are accepting of constructive criticism, but what model are you referring to, what problems have you been experiencing? We always try to resolve any issue customers have with our product, Have you contacted our VERY helpful and informative technical staff to see if they can help you? Perhaps the fault not lies necessarily with a certain product but with set up, local interference or other factors, or ‘glitches’ due to signal level, ‘unstable’ power etc these cannot always be foreseen and tested. We’re not saying that we don’t occasionally have problems with a unit, but we endeavor to help and resolve any issue and frequently do software updates to offer our customers the latest features or resolution to a particular glitch.
Posted by strongaustralia | February 3, 2012, 9:59 AMThose crashes and restarts when using the step forward on a 5492 are still pretty bad even wih the 1.33 software.
If it happens on a playback, it is annoying, but if there is also a recording going on, the whole recording is lost.
It is a huge improvement over the old software (V 1.25) but still annoying in a so-called commercial product.
If there is a recording happening, I try to use the fast forward button on about times-8.
Posted by Mike | February 2, 2012, 3:40 PMHi Mike,
i am referring your comments onto technical for further assistance
Posted by strongaustralia | February 3, 2012, 9:49 AMI have a Strong 5495A and since new it has had an issue with the sound not coming on/back properly after you fast forward through an ad or skip forward while watching a (previously) recorded program.
The sound is either not there or it stutters (stops and starts in short bursts) but eventually (most times) comes back on properly after a couple of minutes or so.
I can get the sound to (sometimes) come back on earlier by stopping and palying the recorded program again or pausing and playing the recorded program again (sometimes takes a few times to get it to work).
The fact that the sound comes back on by doing this means that the audio is recorded but it generally does not start again by itself.
At first I thought that it may have been low signal strength while the program was being recorded but it has happened to programs that I have watched with out losing signal/picture/sound
.
VERY ANNOYING.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Any suggestions Strong?
It’s driving me crazy!!!!
I’m reverting back to my old High Def twin tuner Philips machine more and more.
Posted by Warren | February 22, 2012, 6:05 PMHi Warren,
Thanks for your comments. Have you tried doing a software update and a format of the hard drive? This should solve your problem. You will loose all your recordings so you should watch everything you wish to and then perform the hard drive format. If this still does not fix the problem, then you should send the unit in to our repair department to resolve for you.
Posted by strongaustralia | February 23, 2012, 8:37 AMThanks for the quick reply folks (I’m very impressed).
I’ve been installing the updates for my 5495A as soon as I have found them (V 1.08, 1.13, 1.17, 1.21).
Is V 1.21 the most recent update for my machine?
Mike (thanks for your input) suggests that update V 1.33 fixes the sound problem that I have been experiencing but I have not seen that update version for my model.
Have I missed an update that might fix my problem?
I have the most recent update that I can see (1.21) installed so I’ll cram in some viewing in the next day or two and then format the hard drive and see how that goes. If that fails it will probably have to go back. Warranty runs out 24th of March 2012 (yes, I’ve put up with it for a while now!). I’m in country Vic so I’d need to find an agent nearby.
I am a bit confused about the V 1.33 for my unit however.
Are the updates cumulative (the most recent update includes previous updates) if I happen to miss one or do you need to get every single one as they appear? If so, where do you find the older (missed) updates.
[One point on the update for the "new" SSR, when I go to playback a recording now, I have to push the OK button to watch the show where previously the (Play) buton started the playback. Why wouldn't the (Play) button play the recorded show?]
Thanks in advance (I hope).
Warren.
Posted by Warren | February 23, 2012, 6:49 PMWarren,
I had this exact problem with a 5492 using version 1.25 of the software.
You can fix it short term by pushing the fast rewind button then the play button after a fast forward. I got in the habit of doing this because the “step-forward” of “ad-skipping” buttons were causing crashes and restarts.
So, I had to use the fast forward button a lot.
However, the sound problem was fixed in verion 1.33 of the software so when you install that you should have no more problem with it.
Mike
Posted by Mike | February 23, 2012, 10:30 AMHi Mike,
thanks for your input & help.
Posted by strongaustralia | February 23, 2012, 11:14 AMHi Warren,
The current update is version 1.35 and this is all you need.
You get it from the main http://www.strong.com.au website and then the pulldown for software downloads.
Mike
Posted by Mike | February 23, 2012, 7:11 PMHi Warren, Mike is correct. You do not need the previous versions. Again thanks for your help Mike, it’s nice to see someone offering help to others.
Posted by strongaustralia | February 24, 2012, 8:19 AMMany thanks for your interest Mike. Can I run something past you please?
When I go to the software downloads page, the update listed for my SRT 5495A is version1.21.
There is a version 1.35 listed for the 5495 (no A at the end).
This is obviously the update you are referring to. Does it matter that it is not listed for my machine?
Are the the updates for the 5495 and the 5495A interchangeable?
Not sure why Strong list a different update for these 2 similar, but different models though.
Can you/Strong confirm that V 1.35 is okay for my 5495A please?
Warren
Posted by Warren | February 24, 2012, 4:17 PMWarren,
Sorry, your 5495A already has the latest software, version 1.21.
Evidently this sound problem was fixed in the 5492 and the older 5495 (no “A”) but not on your machine which uses different software. These machines are currently up to version 1.35 but this number does not apply to your machine.
Mike
Posted by Mike | February 24, 2012, 7:33 PMI notice the new version of the software V 1.35 has now been released. Thanks for that.
I tried it briefly and it seems pretty solid. Couldn’t see anything new, so maybe it was a bug-fix release.
Maybe for the next version…..?
Would it be possible to have a text input section in Smart Series Record Feature for DVR so that you could type in a keyword of a program to record?
This would mean that you would not have to have an actual existing program to set the series record feature.
For example, if I wanted to record the TV program “Monk” if it ever comes back on TV, I could type in “Monk” and set it as a series record. Then, if it comes back, even at 2 am, it would get recorded.
Just a thought.
