hi all.. can i buy a usb stick say 8 gb to upload firmware and to record tv on it via the starview 4 box .then play back or does it have to be external hard drive
thanks

i`m running a 16gb sd card with a reader, shoved in the slot at the rear.

you can upload jpegs , mp3`s and the firmware and use it to your hearts content...

use the hdd button or the menu to access the hard drive features

i have found a pause when it intialises the record ect.. about 6 seconds whether this is normal i don`t know cause i have only used the card not a harddrive. the information seems to be recorded for the time delay still on mine.

hope this helps !!

How're ye? just bought and set up a sv4. Plugged in a cheapo 8gb usb key and found that its recording grand but i'm not able to watch the program while doing so. The sound goes and the picture flickers. I'm guessing that its probably to do with the transfer rate from the usb key? anyone able to confirm that? could it be anything else? Thanks

If you do use a memory stick to record programs to transfer to your PCs hard disk you need to get a high speed memory stick!
An ordinary memory stick will cause the screen to stop/start when recording on the SV4. I have a Sandisk cruzer and it works great! The other advantage of the Hi speed memory stick is that you can transfer to your PCs HDD or a USB HDD attached to your PCs USB port, formatted in NTFS.
If, however, you use a HDD in your SV4 USB slot it must be formatted in FAT32.

Please help! My SV4 sometimes freezes when recording or paursing, any solutions. I have used both an external 3.5" hard drive and a flash stick. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Could be your on USB Hard disk is USB1 and not USB2.
also it is not unknown for the picture to disappear when recording on some versions of the Beta firmware, why not try ver 1.05 beta and see if it improves

I'm having problems with a 500GB external hard drive on starview 5 (technically identical to SV4) Am i best going for a smaller capacity? The hard drive is a Seagate with external power supply.
The box asks if i want to format, i click yes and the box just freezes!!!

Your SV4 will work fine with an external 500Gig USB HDD
