    Can't be done. The box records the channel stream with all the copy protection, when you watch it decodes it using your card. If you were able to access the hdd, which you can't, it would still be copy protected. Only way would be to connect a dvd recorder and play the programme through the box and record that

    No easy way I'm afraid; that USB port has no use to the end user. Only way would be to hook up a DVD recorder or some other pass thru recording device and record off the box as you play the program back.

    Think its best to close this thread before people start suggesting things that can't be discussed.
