Will An Iomega Nas Hard Drive Record From A Satellite Hd Box
Hi I am thinking of buying a iomega nas hard drive desk top box but i need to know it i can connect the usb to my M/vision hd sat box to it to record sat programs, I have tried using a portable hd seagate but the M/vision box will not power a portable hard drive,i assume it needs a external mains powered desk top hdd any advice welcome thank you.regards David
PS by connection i mean connecting the omega directly to the sat box ( not via the router)

I have a 500GB Buffalo HDD laptop drive connected USB to a "Technisat" freesat receiver - runs fine without separate mains adapter also a 250GB Buffalo Laptop HDD connected to a Techomate 6800 similarly connected. Both are trouble free and recordings are just fine. The Technomate and MVision are very similar in specs.
Most portable hard drives can take an external power supply, you should double-check the connectors on your Seagate, there might be a power connection.
