Hello,
I recently got a flat-screen TV and can no longer use my VCR... However, since I often fall asleep watching TV, I used to record my programs to watch later. The problem is that I plugged in a large USB stick (more than 150 hours of capacity) into the "demodulator" to receive TNT channels, but I keep getting a message every 30 seconds: device too slow... something like that, and although it records, the image stops and jumps for 2 seconds every 30 seconds.
According to my research online, it's the write speed that's not high enough, and it works with some USB sticks but not others.
If I buy an external hard drive that I connect via USB to the TNT demodulator, will that eliminate these bugs and allow me to record normally?? If so, what specifications should I look for to get a good model at a good price??
Or do you think an even larger USB stick would suffice?
I would like to take advantage of the upcoming Black Friday to make this purchase, so I hope to get answers quickly :)
Thank you

Hello,
In USB drives, there are several class categories, the most important and expensive is their speed... in class 10, it can go up to 100 euros... the subject should not be overlooked... Let's add that the sellers know nothing about it, sometimes even ignore the existence of these classes...
It should also be known that recording in high definition is much more demanding than standard definition... In my opinion, a recording in 720p often does the trick... it takes up much less space and is not as demanding in terms of response time.
Not all devices can do it... But it is sometimes possible to receive a broadcast in 1920x1080 and record in 720.
Normally, a USB hard drive that spins fast enough should solve this problem... A 5400 rpm or better yet, a 7200 rpm.
You need to make sure that the USB port supplies enough power to run it; otherwise, it needs its own power supply...
Here is an example of a 2.5" and 500GB powered by USB

Let's go, 2 TB, power supply included, you'll be able to store 200 HD files...:

I don't understand the story about the 500 GB and the power supply, could you explain it to me? Thank you.
