I recommend you use USB thumb drive, generally 32Gb or 64GB in size. The box has to format a portion of the drive to FAT32 for recording. So anything larger could be an issue with format or may just not work at all. A 32GB drive will provide plenty of recording time and you can backup the recordings onto your computer for later storage, freeing up space as you record me. I use a 32GB FAT32 drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Signal strength meter @ 50% and recording still poor. Switched antenna connections from splitter to straight in. N/G. I have been using a PNY 256GB and it has been nothing but trouble. Pixilation - freezing. N/G 10 seconds ON 10 seconds off. I have some 16G USB drives to record on after reading this post. If the problem goes away I'll get a 64G. I just read my manual and no word on what size USB drive to use. I called the help number a year ago and a tech said not to use a portable hard drive use a USB. So I bought a 256G. Now I read smaller is better. It has been a long uphill battle to get this thing to work properly. Thank you for posting- I have something to try now. Michigan
