Hi all, can you record to a usb that can be watched on PC or Mac?
I just tried and neither see the recorded program.
thanks
As far as I know, for a PC you have three options;
1) as the USB will be formatted to EXT3 or 4, you'll either need to run some additional (freeware) software on your PC to read from it (when you plug it in) - I can't remember what software - sorry - but I've done that in the past. I've gotten a few blue-screen-of-deaths on the PC though.
2) you access the file over your LAN, either through the web interface (a la Enigma 2) or direct through Windows Explorer, where the box does the EXT3/4 accessing for you. It can be slow/glitchy, especially if the Box has a limited Ethernet capability or it's doing something else... and transferring the file can take an age too.
3) you get your box to save its files to a Network File Share - I've never done it, but I've seen it written about. Due to the same Ethernet speed restrictions, it will be probably suffer the same glitches on saving, rather than accessing, though.
Google is your friend on this occasion. Hope it helps.
