[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 805503, member: 325666"] @ Tivu Well ...as promised I reformatted a 100gb sata drive in a pocket caddy with ntfs.. So ..single wire usb male to male standard to mini connection... No external power source needed .. Made a 1 hour recording of CH4HD ... Playback smooth and uninterrupted. BUT ...the fly in the ointment.. Silly stupid design flaw .. The USB connection is on the front unlike the S9HD which has it on the rear. The obvious annoyance with this is the inability to close the front flap when a drive is connected. Definately an oversight and bad design as most users who want the F3 as a PVR ..will most likely want to leave the drive permanently connected .. A usb stick would be less intrusive but still requires the gate leaving open. so 10 out of 10 for functionality ...but minus 100 for good thinking ie bad design. rgds VS Oh ..and worth mentioning that Huntington beach live cams @22 west produced pictures on the F3 with the TV_prog data copied (with channels scanned) from the S9 to the F3 .. Thus the issue _is_ definately isolated to the S9HD [/QUOTE]
