fvw53 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I am going to buy a LG Television which has a convenient "Time Machine" to do recording. I should buy an external hard drive to record for instance 10 hours a day. I prefer a USB key : does anybody have experience how many hours can be recorded on a USB key of 64 Gb (in standard and not High Definition resolution) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffdog Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I had a 750Gb hdd from true and can record about 226 hours of normal non hd content. So do your math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP87 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A USB key may not be able to Read/Write fast enough for recording and you might experience freezing and long waits when rewinding or fast-forwarding. I would buy a fast Hard Drive and a Hard Drive enclosure that plugs into your USB port. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most USB sticks failed, Magnetic media always passed. You'll need a lot more than 64GB too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Just out of interest what LG models offer this recording facility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fishin2 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Most models of "smart" tvs have some sort of recording feature. You cannot use a usb pen drive not fast enough and too small. A 1tb external hard drive is just over 3000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 You'll need a lot more than 64GB too. Agreed I have around 1Tb of material waiting to be viewed It soon builds up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
