Recording only possible via USB 2.0 hard drive

I had the sole receiver added myself as a digital video recorder, because I only have a SAT input on my TV from LG. So I have the second satellite antenna cable plugged into the port of Telestar, so that I could connect the supplied me put with the same Order 500 GB hard Plate TOSHIBA now to henceforth to program recordings perk. The disillusionment followed immediately, while said Telestar receiver could not detect hard drive from the menu. After a check on my PC, which had no difficulties with the recognition of the external Toshiba hard disk, I contacted a little perplexed the Telestar service by mail and received after repeated demand for a little more than a month following terse response (!): "In Generally it can be said that hard drives / USB storage devices to be used should be 2.0 units, since 2.0 ports are installed on the receiver even USB. USB 3.0 devices (although backward-compatible) are generally not supported. "

Aha, it would have been just too good if this circumstance would also surfaced in the Amazon description or would but see the other customers often praised enclosed thick German manual mention. If he does not, so there's two star deduction! Now I can see what I can do with the Toshiba hard disk (for which I had in the meantime formatted in despair several times, this can so bad as unused return).

Fortunately, I had an older USB 2.0 external hard Plate which recognized the receiver immediately. Here I was able to program and also view recordings. Compared to the recording on external hard drive of my LG TVs I have to say that my operation, the possibilities and the visual representation of all recordings in LG in some areas significantly better like and is much more intuitive for my taste. As an example, only the fact that the LG indicates whether a recording has been seen before, or "new" - that does not appear when Telestar. For this, however, the Telestar offers the possibility of setting for all images to front and / or add a specific time buffer after shooting, which makes perfect sense in practice. When I have this LG manually readjust when the recording.

Basically I am using the picture of Tele Stars satisfied (no significant differences for LG TV which provides a very good HD quality). Only three stars because there's the exclusive usability of USB 2-0 disks and the lack of indication.
