Can I record off a DM500s using a hard drive recorder?

[blowupinstruments]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me in simple terms on how to record off my DM500S.

I was wondering if I could connect my DM500S via a scart connection to an "external hard drive box" and then up scale via a HDMI from the "external hard drive box" to my TV (the up scale is not a must would be nice).

Also I was wondering if the "hard drive box" could automatically change over the channel on DM500S i.e like Freeview+, Sky + etc when recording commences??

Is this possible??

Any help would be appreciated.

I dont know about an external hard drive box but you can record direct to your pc or laptop, download ngrab recording start and ngrab recording stop to you dm500s, and also get NGrabLite for you pc, set up ngrab streaming on your dm500s and enter your pc's ip, set the port to 6000 and click detect mac and save, on your pc create a folder on you c drive called dreambox and inside that create a folder called movies, in ngrablite settings on your pc enter the ip of your dreambox and the port 6000 and thats it
