    I have a Freesat HDR 1000S and I wanted to record some programs to an external USB device rather than the internal HDD.

    I have plugged a USB stick (8GB) in formated as both EXT2 and FAT32.

    The USB stick is recognised and when I go into Settings -> System Settings -> Storage I can see the USB stick listed under HDD.

    When I choose the USB device I am prompted to format the drive (or eject it) - there is no option to just use it. When I choose the format option, I see an error that says the device cannot be formatted.

    If anyone has seen this or knows how to fix the issue I would really appreciate some tips.

    What I really want to do is copy files off the HDD onto the USB drive but it appears this is not possible on the 1000S. If anyone knows if Humax are looking to extend this ability to the 1000S in the future I might just wait until this is possible.

    Many thanks

    Chris

    Not currently possible - you can only record to the internal HD. Currently, to protect copywrite, only files that you have imported can be exported.

    Yes, I remember speaking to Humax about this and they told me it was to stop copyright infringement. I Have my old DVD recorder linked up to my TV and Humax box and use that to record onto DVD's if I want to transport any recordings.
