[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1128942, member: 176704"] Can't help any more with most of the above, but ref connecting a USB external hard drive, that should be possible as I have an old 320GB drive in an external enclosure and attached to my 2 yr old LG TV and it will record programmes (not that I actually do that very often at all for the 2nd reason shown below). The only real issues were/are: - Power: used a 2x USB A to 1 USB B power combiner lead and then to a USB B to the micro USB input on the external HDD enclosure; that gives sufficient current for recording & replay (will post a link to how to get one of those in a few minutes) - I can only record the channel which I am watching at the time because the TV only has 1 tuner and that thus ties the TV up until the end of the programme being recorded; whereas, by comparison, I can record a 2nd channel whilst watching the 1st on the SKY HD box (DRX895 - still on the original HDD after nearly 10 years :)) because it has 2 tuners.
