do you have it mounted also in mount manager? hopefully you are using a powered usb supply and hardrive is no bigger than 1tb.

yeah it plugged in via a usb port, how do i sort out timeshift settings? my hard drive is formatted to ext4, but if i plug it in to my laptop, and want to add films , it wont let me cause it says i have to formatt the h.d. thanks

[cactikid]

you dont remove usb but there is a way to ftp films from pc to box not used it,samba.

i have another wee question to ask, how can i get the epg downloader to transfer to the hard drive instead of the internal memory, and can i delete the cacheflush? thanks

[cactikid]

you would need to change where epg is stored and not internal flash or you will end up reflashing unit.
cacheflush is in plugins from the menu you download and it maybe be an extension ,not used it so unsure where.
