[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 897362, member: 187442"] Is this a Linux based receiver? If so what image do you have installed? With some receivers you have to mount the external hard drive, by going into the menu and assigning a path, to the hard drive. There are many receivers, that can do what you want, with space for an internal hard drive, and multiple tuners, allowing you to record a number of channels, once set up correctly, but you would also need a LNB with 2-4 outputs, depending on how many channels you want to record, and additional cables run, from your LNB, to the receiver. Most of these are also complex to set up, as they are Linux based receivers, and it takes time to learn how to use them, they are not simple receivers, like the Sky+ plug and play type, but they do have more support. The top of the range are probably the VU+ Duo2, and the Dreambox 8000, which are also quite expensive, epsecially compared to your receiver. I would advise you try a little more research, and try to find other owners, and see what hard drive they're using, and how they fitted it, before upgrading to a more expensive receiver. Do you have a manual, or can you provide an online link, to a manual? Can the installer help you, with information on compatible hard drives, and how to set it up? [/QUOTE]
