There are no regions on Hard Drives, unlike DVDs. You'll be fine on that score. What are you hoping to record - I'm not sure you can do what you are hoping to?

I'm not sure 8)

These usually record from the tuner built in, they output to TV - not input from. It may be possible, I'm not sure.

Well if it all goes belly up, the saving grace is that it also has a usb port to use a memory stick. I, ll put summat on that, and be able to watch it when the weather knocks out the internet...do you get the feeling you and I will be doing a lot of this for the forseeable future.. :-[v :-[ :'( :-* ;D

It's a clunky way of doing it (even if you can  ;) ) -you'd be better off with a laptop, HDMI lead and a VPN. Then you can watch most of the UK channels things like FilmOn - and with a VPN you can use things like BBC iPlayer, where you can download loads of programmes to watch when the internet is not performing.

Virtual private network that makes your  internet connection look like you are in another country. Like putting uk but be in Turkey and you can watch uk tv.

Scunner - Is Hotspot VPN permanently free or just for a trial period ?
Title: Re: Hard drive dvd player
Post by: Scunner on October 03, 2016, 07:09:13 AM
Just a trial period Kev but well worth the 20 odd quid a year. Always a discount code about too.

Personally I wouldn't bring all that.
Left my recorder in uk and use an android box or watch catch up on my ipad.
A lot of people are raving about the kindle fire stick too.

I use uk tv access vpn. Always been fab.
