I have the USB mini-stick for my cable box Xoro HRK 8750 CI + ordered me because I record with this many shipments just for the kids and so use the front USB slot. Thus the door is not always open to leibt completely, I wanted a mini USB flash drive. The flap can indeed close not completely, but almost. But now to the technical values. Here I will not rattle the data throughput on the computer, but what the Xoro can it? Two parallel streams HD recording is not a problem! That was my most important. Since the children are only around 20:30 clock in bed, we watch the movies in the timeshift mode. Often we start the film only at 20:45 clock and skip the commercial breaks. With the stick no problem at all!
