rec to usb.

[chippy]

i want to start recording from my box, i dont have an external disc drive. i do have an 8gb usb. has any member used a usb to record direct to. im sure i read here that 8gb will have enough to record a film or a game. and if i can is it as simple as pressing the record button, then when finished opening from usb to view. i ask because having tried i cant find the file on my usb. (it is formatted.) . thanks for any help. chippy.

Yes, you can record to a usb stick. I had a small problem in that my connected WD Passport hdd ceased to function when connected to my Spiderbox. I thought it was a box problem and was advise on another forum to try and record with a usb. It recorded and played back straight away It was a faulty lead that was my problem. The file should play no bother on the Spiderbox but not maybe on your pc.TMULL

It is as simple as hitting the record button on your remote control, but when you want to play it back press the play button, this will bring up the files.

If you format your USB stick using the Spiderbox options you should get a folder for recordings.

Chippy,

When you record direct from the Spiderbox, you find your recordings by pressing the "play" button on the remote. This will bring up the list of recordings you have made, & you simply select / delete what you want.
