Hi
Is a Mac formatted external HDD compatible with the Alien 2? I know to flash it you need a Fat32 drive, but just for day to day recording/play back.
Thanks

Apparently it will take almost any hard disk
I would use ext3 file system
I found that an attached HDD doesn't actually work that well when attached to the Amiko box. So I have a 16GB pen drive in the back for EPG, file swap, pic-icons and back-up. I record all files / TV shows / Films to a NAS. Seems to work perfectly for me....one thing to note, when configuring a new 'save to path' using E2 is to push the 'MENU' button to bookmark a new location.
I have seagate 2tb harddrive connected to amiko alien and never had any problems. Its formatted to ext3 and has its own power supply.
