angrybird Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 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 ?

Langsuan Man Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 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 Sent from my Nexus 4 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try one formatted as FAT and see if that works Sent from my Nexus 4 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_hours_can_1_gigabyte_hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
