    Try making the Recordings folder on the C: drive, not sure if you can mount to an external drive.

    Does your external drive have an ethernet connection? So is it connected to your dreambox or router? If it's in a NAS enclosure then you need to select SMBFS as the filesystem and not CIFS, this is for a shared folder on a PC.

    awesome. thanks weskill will try it once I get home... otherwise I might just ask someone to do it for me by connecting with remote assistance or something

    <--Sig-gotyouth added 130 Minutes and 11 Seconds later...-->

    ok followed that screen and it seems to be reading the drive now.. but it tells me:

    Record stopped due to full harddisk. Delete some recordings and try again.


    so is there anything else I have to do? I seem to have 253GB free accoring to the drive under my computer

    try restarting the usb drive, click the interface off, restart the dreambox
    restart the interface and try mounting it again
    if mounted you should see the size of the drive above the help button
