When I record something it doesn't let me access it. The previous firmware allowed me to replay files. I am running a 1tb hitachi. I am pretty sure the files are being recorded just no easy way to access them. I had a firmware that had the Legitfta banner when you turn it on and the star backgrounds. It worked pretty good but then I updated to the above one where it changed the sat menus and added accurate scan. I would like to have something better.
