I bought the stick, because in other reviews the DVR capability was praised. Unfortunately I can not share this view. Sometimes the recording actually works, and the write and read speed is usually sufficient, but in between is the recording and just hang on the stick then can no longer be access to. Only after a restart of the stick is found again, but the recording is not stored. I can rule out that it is error of the receiver, because I have this before (and also after) powered by a USB drive without making similar mistakes would have occurred.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, I've found that the stick also to other devices causing problems. The PC could not recognize the drive. The Blu-Ray player is even crashed. Even after reformatting occurred the same problems. Apparently the thing has given up the ghost after only two days.
