Problem using external hard drive to record/pause on samsung smart tv

    Hi there,

    Hope someone can help.
    I have a Samsung smart tv (samsung ue46es6300)

    I have purchased a Toshiba 550GB external hard drive and formated it as FAT32 on a mac so I could use it for recording and pausing live tv.

    It works......but the issue is that everytime I power off the tv and power it back on, the tv says that there is a problem with the drive and asks to check it and reformat it, so I loose the data on it.

    As I said it works, but just wondering if anyone has had the same issue and found a way out of it.

    The solution: "Leave the TV on all the time" will not help ;-)

    Thanks for any advice,
    xxx

    You probably read this already in the manual, under "Recording/Timeshift (Troubleshooting)":
    A message prompts me to format a USB
    device that has been working well.
      If the USB device has a lock, ensure it is off.
      Recover the USB device using the recovery function in Checking Device.

    Hi Ronnie,

    Thanks for your post.
    The USB device doesn't have a lock and everytime I plug it in it asks me to check it and it fixes it and I can record/pause again fine. Then I turn the TV off and on again and the same cycle starts again.

    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    xxx
