In the pull-down menu above the preview window, Open the Service Menu, and check "Log File" to enable the log, and uncheck it to disable.

Method 2: Windows batch file

†
Access Windows on the Decoder, either through remote control or directly accessing the Streambox.
Close the Decoder application window (Command-line window).
Note: This step will stop the receipt of any incoming stream.
Open My Computer
Open c:\Streambox
Right-click the file runhx.bat and select "Edit."† This will open Notepad.†
Locate the section of the file that looks like this:†

:HDDECODER
:DECODER
Title Streambox Transport HD Decoder
transportHD-LH32.exe

to that last line, add "/log" to enable logging so it looks like this:

:HDDECODER
:DECODER
Title Streambox Transport HD Decoder
transportHD-LH32.exe /log

(To disable logging, remove "/log" and continue with these steps)

Save the file and close notepad.††
Run the desktop shortcut "Streambox ACT-L3" to re-launch the Decoder application.††
Note: Interrupted streams should resume at this point.
The logfile created is c:\Streambox\transport_log.txt
