Can you tell me anyone if you can record on a usb stick not just a hard drive and can you select from the epg what to record or is it setting up a timer each time, also can you fast forward and rewind the recordings?

as im trying to decide to get starview 4 usb or the newer digivox usb. thanks

I have the Starview 4 USB and use a Western Digital 250GB my Passport HD with it, you have to be careful when choosing a Hard Drive for this box as some may demand too much power and you must not exceed 300GB, as for the sticks from what I hear they work well but obviously they don't have the capacity of a HD, you can rewind and fast forward and set recordings using the EPG much like Sly + only downside is with this box is that it only has a single tuner so you cannot record and watch another channel, also sometimes the EPG does not show up as far as you may like but my Kryptview is the same, this box is very easy to update, you can use the standard lead or the USB stick and for what you get the lack of an extra tuner is not really a problem.

Is there a twin tuner box available now? anyone!
