Wow, Thanks for the quick reply!!!

The problem is that I have all the tools the reciever does not seem to have the PVR function enabled. I am able to browse the USB drive and view photos but I can not record even when I push the record button

I am wondering if I need to update the recievers software???

Did you format the drive from the receiver? I used a 160g drive that I previously used for backup on my computer. I tried to use it by just plugging it in and recording; but, I couldn't record.

Once I formatted it, I recorded with no problems. Be aware that you will lose any data on the drive when you format it so backup anything you want to keep.

I had a problem with my remote. The black remote didnt seem to work when I pressed rec. But the white one did. Make sure the STB light on the remote comes on when you press rec. I couldnt get this to work using the black remote. I wonder if the remote is faulty.

The best way to test the recording w/o having to press the rec button would be to try out the PRV timer recording.

I recorded about 5 minutes of video on my 4GB USB thumb drive. I then proceeded to check to see if anything was on my thumb drive by loading it onto my PC. There was a ts file that gets generated. But I couldnt seem to play it using even the VLC player. However, I got my MAC to play it using mpegstreamclip. (Windows version also available) Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Mac and Windows
