Very good, but a critical shortage!

On the television I (500GB Toshiba) connected via the provided USB port a hard drive to record programs so that can.
That Samsung for the hard drive I formatted in a proprietary format so accepted even grudgingly, but it also knew beforehand. But that within these three months, the hard disk is suddenly no longer recognized for the second time from the TV, makes me very angry and already leading to significant point deduction. This points deduction is so clear, because I now have to buy a separate recording device.
All previously recorded films namely gone because a new "Samsung formatting" is necessary so that the plate is at all recognized. After googling recently I had to realize that this malfunction very often (or always?) Appears. The support proves to be not really helpful.

For me, completely incomprehensible, such a device ever comes to market with such a malfunction! Too bad, because otherwise I would be very satisfied with the device :-(
