Among the many features, I believe I have the latest one. it is limited to 50 mins recording unscheduled using the internal memory.

The help pages advise how to record onto a USB

I have all the right connections as far as I can ascertain.

I t does say a USB of no less than 40 gigabytes is needed

Doing some searches, others have used big capacity USB with no luck

I have found it is just an exercise in frustration contacting LG locally or internationally

I have a Sony DVD recorder which I have used previously, it is limited to a DVD capacity and cannot record from the LG except

by changing connections and guesswork

Any Help Please ?

What format is the USB ? Sometimes if they are formated as NTFS they won't play. Try one formatted as FAT and see if that works

Can only be done (trial and error ?) by using an external HDD mine is 500 gigabyte, seems then can only record 3 hrs but it says 5. This is at Normal setting ! More trials to follow.

i had a similar problem with my new samsung but found out doh low and behold my wd passport is password encrypted so once you remove that that might help

Sounds like you are recording in HD,(high definition) and the 5 hours you are talking about is in SD (standard definition) but I think you are mixing gigabytes with recording time, the two are not necessarily the same

see this for a more detailed explanation of gigabytes and recording time:
