***FREE EXTRA FEATURES***

Note this box is being sold as an Standard Definition receiver.

These extra options are being detailed as when tested them they seemed to work well

but are not covered by warranty on the standard features.

N.B.Your external hard drive or memory stick MUST be formatted to FAT32.

If your hard drive or memory stick is over 32GB,

you might get an error saying that it is too large to format.

However, Windows can format a drive that is larger than 32GB in FAT32,

but you have to use the DOS command prompt.

However, if you have a drive that is 1TB or larger, you may still get an error saying

“The volume is too big for FAT32”

and might need to use a program like swissknife to format it.

If you need to do this, just google 'swissknife format utility' to find out how.

We do not support these larger sizes so do so at your own risk.

As for formatting the sizes of storage device that we do support. Here is how to do it.
