recording on external powered hard drive (WD)

[hereberie7066]

Is someone also having problems with shut down external powered hard drive on thechomate receivers ?

I have always to switch to standby mode before power off the technomate .

If you do not , the file system on the hard drive is not ready for thechomate next time you power up .

I use Western Digital 1TB external powered drive .

This is a prob I had myself. I purchased a Buffalo Ministation 500Gb USB powered drive with low USB drain, and that works fine.......

I was thinking of getting a USB hard drive for my TM6900HD super, but will this record in HD? Are they just plug and play? as the instructions for the receiver are not too clear.

It will record in hd yes it is plug and play and should be formatted to fat32 when you buy it...............
