Hi,
I have a TM6900 Combo with only one USB port on the front.
Using a 150gig hard drive to record ..is there any way I can also use a Pen Drive without unplugging the HD.TIA
Would TM recognise both drives...if this is possible?

(usb splitter = usb hub)

Just tested, it works with usb 2.0 hub and 2 memory keys, can't promise it will work correctly. While using there could be a problem with wake up of hard disc?
When using you have all ways to run it with both devices connected (USB device assignment changes: numbers: 0 <> 1). When both are connected USB key is always recognized first: number 0, hard disc 1. When both connected switch receiver on / off and assign default USB harddisc for recording (1). Remember when disconnecting key and reconnecting key to go to standby and switch on again for correct numbers.
with 2 devices it could work with 2 devices, if you get more external power would be needed, and wakeup of hard disc could be problematic. (recording may fail)
