I have just bought a Technisat HDFV set top box. My current set up is a Sony HD ready TV linked up to a Sony HDD/DVD recorder and a Sony VHS machine. I am currently able to record a different channel to the one I am watching on the TV.
I want to be able to do the same with the set top box connected up - Technisat technical helpline are not very helpful - they say it is impossible. Is this true? Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for the info, Dave.
I realise that if I use the set's PVR function to record to an external HDD I cannot record a different channel to the one I'm watching on TV. What I want is to be able to use the set top box to view HD freeview channels and to use the DVD recorder to record different non-HD chanels -would the daisy chain allow this. Any advice gratefully received.

Regards

Mark

Mark Petersen: The flash drive connected to my technisat HDFV set has just died. I'm not sure if the Technisat caused this or if the drive itself was faulty. Has anyone out there expereinced the same? I could try a new flashdrive but that's an expensive way to find out. Any help appreciated.
