Basic question about PVR ready receiver

[Marcas]

Apologies in advance for what I'm sure will appear to most a daft question.

I managed to install a technomate receiver and motorised dish up recently and would like to be able to record the occasional programme. The receiver has a usb port and is "PVR ready." I know that some terrestial freeview receivers have this built it to record unto a hard drive. What sort of device would I need to use to make use of this facility?

Just a USB hard drive should do it.

Thanks for you answer Rolfw but I'm embarrassed to say that I'm still not entirely clear. Would something like an external hard drive work and, if so, how are the recorded programmes played back?

 

[acezon]

yes excatly that an external hard drive that connect with a usb cable, the reciever would play back anything it records

Many thanks. I will try that
