hi mate try this, i tried it on my usb

"If you have mounted the usb to media/usb
Press menu,setup,system,recording paths, press ok on default movie location
if it says media/hdd in the bottom press blue to remove bookmark
now press bouquet + button to add bookmark
hi lite list of storage devices or parent directory in top window..press ok and browse until you see USB go down to it and it says media/usb at the top
dont press ok just leave it hi lighted
now press blue to add book mark, it should put media/usb in the bottom window
press green to save then green once again to save and that should be it."

m8..you dont need to do that follow the guide i posted you dont need to ftp by software (ie flashfxp program) or telnet (putty or telnet in windows)...i done that and it works fine, but you may need a faster or more reliable media to record on as i was getting glitching and freezing when playing back on my pny 32gb usb stickk

George XL, please could you explain about the following part of your post :-By a software FTP or by telnet
create a folder named movie on your usb stick: /media/usb/movie
Where can I find FTP ot telnet and how would I use it. Many Thanks

Sorry for the late reply.

You must create a folder called movie in /media/usb/ .
You can do this using a ftp software ( i use total commander ) or open a tellnet sesion and create the folder using linux commands.

Not with the remote.

like i said mate, i didnt need to create any folder i used the remote and followed the instructions that i posted....have you tried that way ?...cos i did and it worked for me on my vu+duo original with blackhole image 1.7.8

Glad you got it sorted it buddy,i will close this thread now.
