On my Reciever I have the beginning of January the latest firmware / software installed from 13.11.2008. (Software Update see article / review "Super Receiver, but ..., February 10, 2009").
All my USB Sticks (Sandisk, Kingston, Intenso, no name) will be detected and can be read. Pictures (.jpg, slideshow) always works properly. Filming or movie playback may not operate properly. This has less to do with the device, but rather with the (older) stick that only a specific data rate can, for the films is insufficient, if necessary (target: from 10 MB / sec).
As provided is usually an external hard drive via USB docked with me on Reciever. I run a 3.5 "hard drive TrekStor DataStation maxi nu 160 GB with its own supply of power and its own on-off switch; the drive knows obviously the standby mode In normal Reciever - Hard Disk operation runs hear the hard drive;. Hard drive enclosure is significantly warm; be hard disk access visualized via LED. Since mid-January 2009 50 programmed recordings have been successfully carried out on disk. To take time safely items I give depending on the broadcaster at least 2 minutes programmed pre- and post to, that I change the recording time criteria.
Problems in target disk mode: low, see below 3e)
Receiver in standby:
When switched off, the hard drive this course draws no current.
When switched on - but stand - the hard disk this does not, the hard drive cage is cold, LED lights and thus requires minimal power.
Reciever from Standby to On:
1. When switched off, the hard drive is no USB device is detected correctly.
2. Manual closing of the recievers:
a) Is the Receiver in standby and the hard disk is turned off by a switch: when you switch the recievers manual disk is mounted correctly in 100% of cases, regardless of whether the hard drive is turned on by a switch before or after the Receiver; I can always access from the Receiver to the hard drive.
b) Was the Receiver and the hard drive in standby, then the hard drive with the manual on-off of the recievers will recievergesteuert turned on and detected in 100% of cases; I can always access from the Receiver to the hard drive.
3. Programmed switching on the recievers (approx 5 times a week); are the Receiver and the hard drive in standby, then
a) the Receiver turns on preprogrammed in 100% of cases;
b) the hard disk receives the time / Most () a switch-on?;
c) is actually started but the programmed recording only in 90% of the programmed recording times;
d) go to the end of the recording (at 90% of the programmed recording times) Receiver and hard drive standby.
e) remains on even after the end of the mission of the Receiver in the 10% of non started shooting. After discovery can be watched immediately after turning on only the most TV; but was twice previously crashed the Receiver and then had to be switched only at zero current. In the in e) described cases quietly hums the hard drive, the cabinet is warm, via LED visualized disk access but not carried out.
If watching television and it enters a program-controlled recording event, then the technique as in 3a) -e) behaves described.
Reciever de-energize via on / off switch: so far was 2 times necessary due Recieverabsturz.
Afterword:
Of the recordings DVDs can be burned by computer + software. The manufacturer ([...]) of the unit ([...]) offers a Konvertiersoftware, but needs further software processing.

In the latter Link software solutions for DVD production are among others described complex and demanding means of freeware.
