USB splitter

[hardy1812]

Hi peeps.
The f5s has only one USB port. Is it possible to buy and use a USB splitter. I use an 8gb USB stick to use for the XMLTV but have other sticks that I use to put films/TV series on. Was thinking of formatting my 500gb HD so I could use this for program recording/XMLTV and use the USB stick for me program's so I don't have to keep swapping them ova

Thxs peeps.

I've never tried it, but apparently after reading many threads on the subject, using a USB hub can overload the motherboard and damage it.

Self powered USB hub

Was thinking of a double adaptor but not the powered one

another brand/model of receiver I have with only 1 usb port doesn't advertise the fact but it does recognize a 4 port usb hub.

a non powered is one way to do in box,externally powered is safer.
