Hi folks, newbie. After reading various forums for a week or so, took the plunge and got a couple of Miraclebox Mini+ Hybrid cable boxes and got set up fine. Currently using 16Gb USB stick in the rear USB port for EPG. Could someone point us in the right direction for adding USB HDD plz? Have seen a couple of guides (can't post links yet) but still confused. Should add that I realise this box only allows recording of the currently viewed channel.
TIA.
- Can we use 500Gb or 1TB?
- Have no idea of space that will be used by recordings. Eg: A 2 hour 1080 movie? I can only think in terms of x264 encoding and a 1080 movie at 10-12Gb sort of thing (yes I know x264 settings to achieve that are debatable). What sort of space is taken when recording?
- It has to be mounted and formatted with Linux file system. How?
- Can I then, instead of using a separate USB stick for EPG and HDD for recording, use the HDD for everything (don’t really want anything sticking out of the front USB port)?
- What is "Timeshift"?
TIA.
