Just came accross this thread - thking of buying the Ross 8130 HD receiver from B&Q but I noticed that the external USB HDD has to be FAT32/16 hence maximum file size of 4 GB - too small for HD ?. I have prob. missed the answer to this on the thread but does this mean that recording via USB is at SD not at HD? So if you record BBC HD, for example, the recording is only standard definition ? I guess this would explain why it seems to be possible to play the recordings back on a PC since DRM would normally stop you doing this on HD content by encrypting the file.
