Hi All

I have connected to my TM 6900 Combo an Iomega 160GB USB HDD (Model No. LPHD160-U) which has been flawless in operation both on record or playback with either HD or SD source.

What have you used on your TM for recording and is there a size limit it will cope with as I need more storage space but dont know what to buy.

It does record programmes but if you already have 200 programmes stored then the new recording will not appear until you remove some of the stored programmes then after some pressing red on the file list screen will reveal the previously hidden programmes.
