One thing for sure is that after 2 days of trying to work it out is that tomorrow it will be back in the box and on it's way back to B&Q.

I didn't find configuring the receiver
that bad. I've not tried a USB HD yet, but have tried a memory stick and that works really well (HD playback quality is excellent).
The only 'problem' I'm having at the moment is that the 'duration' feature of the 'Timer' function doesn't seem to work properly. The receiver switches on and starts to record as expected - but continues on recording after the specified stop time. Any ideas anyone?
Regarding your USB HD - is it powered via the USB lead or does it have a dedicated PSU? Either way there might be a power or HD spin up issue.
Incidentally, I've ordered a couple of external enclosures (from Dealextreme) for the two 2.5" IDE HD's I've got hanging around - so I'll be trying those within the next couple of weeks. They're powered via the USB connection - I'll let you know how I get on!
