I tried to use s 4gb fat32 formatted SD card in a USB adaptor and it is not recognised. It comes up with a message that the format is incorrect.

Have you tried formating it to standard FAT ?

I have tried that also and both my TV (which has a usb in for photos) and the foxsat-hdr won't work in this way. Not a clue why though as it works fine on any computer I have tried this on.

Not sure if it is relevant, but I have a similar problem with the SD card in my camera. It is something to do with the speed of the card and what device is trying to read it. If I use a colleague's card reader then all is well, but Mr. Gates keeps inviting me to format the media if I use any of my own card readers.

The card is an SD/HC card. I don't know if that makes any difference.

sounds like the usb adaptor and card aren't compatible and not the fault of the foxsat

does it work with a lesser capacity card?
