First of all I would like to how good these Linux boxes are; I stumbled in to this world and have been on a steep learning curve. Now I have a box that has loads of functionality and has become a media portal for my family.

I am using a PKT Hyperion image (installed on a 250GB HDD from a ghost image) and can not for the life in me understand how to get the recording to work. I have followed various forums and still nothing, so far I have.


  • Formatted to ex2
  • Mounted the drive.
  • Set up recording paths.
  • Can see a list of programs in the timer section.
  • Live pauses fine


The ipbox91HD can see the drive fine i.e. if I add points these show in the file list, also if I FTP a film to the HDD it plays fine.

Can anyone understand what I am doing wrong?
