Hi guys,
I've just bought a 500gb Verbatim Hard Drive, connected it to my openbox and click record... it asks me do I want to record in 'PS' or 'TS', I selected TS and let it record for a minute.
How do I access these recordings? There appears to be nothing saving to the Hard Drive... also, no record manager feature comes up!
Anything else I need to do to set this up... I was under the impression that it was just plug and record??? Thanks in advance for any advice :)
Recording on Openbox s10

Did you format the hard dive to fat32 mate?
-
No i Didn't Mate... that is probably the problem!!!!
-
Formatted drive to FAT32 and still the same! Any ideas? I have the latest firmware installed... I hope i don't need to change it cos I spent forever sorting out my channel lists the way I like it, and I don't wanna lose all that.

Hi, what did you use to format the drive to fat 32 ?
i havent managed to do mine. -
you have to record for over 2mins otherwise nothing records
-
I used a free piece of software called swiss knife!
-
Is the hard drive powered by mains or USB?
-
its a usb powered verbatim 500gb
-
It must be a firmware problem lads because the openbox can see the HD and tell me that it has 486Gb free.. but when I press record this stupid message comes up: 'PS' or 'TS'... when I click either and record for more than 2 minutes, nothing is visible in the media player section! I think I have just wasted 50 euro on this drive....

I have read of people having problems with USB powered hard drives, supposedly the USB does not give off enough power. That could be you're problem

strange... look in the mediaplayer section in Record, not video.

Alibaba you're right... they are showing up in the record section! Its just not a very user friendly system, I was hoping a record manager would come up when I press 'record' like it says in the user manual... But since the EPG is so bad, it doesn't really work simply....

I've got it recording now... I heard with the s10 you can be recording one channel and watching another, is this bullsh*t?... cos it won't let me change channel without stopping the recording...

You can record a channel and watch another if they are on the same transponder. It's not a dual tuner like a vu duo or sly plus. -
