Hi. Just fitted a new telly..Sony KD65..wall mounted..I want to record and looking through menus it looks as simple as connecting a portable hard drive via usb connection and recording on it. Can it be that easy? and if so can anyone recommend something around 1tb that works well with my tv? Thanks in advance. Ian

Yes - it is.

Just make sure whatever drive you doesn't need external power.

TV will most likely format the drive to its liking.

Very simple on my new LG.

Are you using any of the EPGs on the Sony? How do you find it? I have a Sony KD something and am looking to dump Sky, and use the onboard tuners for freesat, and add some sort of recording capability for my wife’s programmes.
