    I,m interested in a good guide for this to i have one
    formatted and my 500hd sees it but not sure about how
    to mount it.

    I added mine and db never saw it so went to pc and pc
    never saw it, formatted it in pc management then the
    db saw it. Took it back to pc today and now pcs not
    seeing it again, do you need to format fat32 ?

    Its the mounting it i'm stuck at.

        Fave replies from various threads

        1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
        2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
        3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

          It says on that guide

          Direct Recording to a NAS Drive

          Open your browser and enter the ip address of your dreambox into the address bar. This should bring up the web interface. To mount to a Samba share we have to use the web interface and not the remote menus.

          Select CONFIG > MOUNT MANAGER > ADD

          Fill in the settings to match your network

          The User Name: will be the admin account on the NAS...usually admin.
          The Password: will be the admin password on the NAS...usually admin.
          (I would advise changing this in the NAS web interface to something other than admin)
          If you have given the Recordings folder a password of it's own, you will need to use this in the mount settings.

          Select Save.

          Click Mount and if all is correct a GREEN tick should appear. This can take about 10 seconds to mount.

          * To start direct recording, select Start Direct Recording from the Blue Button menu.

          This may vary depending on what image you are using.

          * To stop direct recording, select Stop Direct Recording from the Blue Button menu.

          Check your shared folder on the NAS and hopefully you should have a recording.



          When i open it up on my browser i dont see " Select CONFIG > MOUNT MANAGER > ADD "

          Also do i download samba...


          Just can figure it out because that looks like a guide
          for an older model of db.
          Right now its showing in device manager but how do i route my recording to it ?
          have i got to use dcc to enter a folder.

Also is threre a limit to length of the NAS address, mine has ip address\usbdisk_1\share\recording. Any help appreciated please
