SV4 Recording

[alastair_drake]

Looking to buy a SV4 and not sure what size hard drive to buy?! Looking to do this on a budget (credit crunch and all) so would a 350 or 500Gb be sufficient? How many minutes should this get me?! Guessing its worth getting a USB powered one too?!

Also I have a SV2 at moment.....my sister has the SV4 so know it has better menus etc but not tried the USB function for recording. Any comments regarding ease of use etc?

Cheers.

Cheers for the info.

Any ideas how easey it is to actually record? Is the menu user friendly etc?!

yes it is very easy m8 u just press record

do not get anything bigger than 160gb as you will have problems.

u can only record the channel u r watching (just so u know)

I have used up as far as 320 Gbs without a problem. After that I have witnessed problems.
