## Description

Enjoy watching one channel while recording another with this Freeview HD set-top box. Requires TV aerial and NTFS-formatted USB/external drive for recording.

Review: Exceeds my expectations - Fantastic device. Everything working beautifully. Great picture and sound quality, PVR and timeshift recording (even two timeshift types) on a USB Stick or external HDD flawless, remote controller responsive, dual tuners to record two different channels or watch and record simultaneously, nice other features like favourite channels lists and so on. The only small issue is that the EPG doesn't show programmes on several channels at the same time. Doesn't bother me, the EPG still is usable enough. Coincidentally, I've bought several August devices during several years. Originally mainly because they are so affordable. No problems ever, always happy with them. It is difficult to understand why this August DVB482 gets quite many negative reviews. Maybe people just don't understand how to operate this kind of boxes? (Operating is very simple, especially if you are familiar with TV tuner and recorder devices.) Maybe people expect too much? This device does not wash your laundry, make your dinner or write your emails. It just beautifully shows and records TV programmes (and plays multimedia files from your USB device). Thank you, August.
Review: For sub £50 it's great little DVR but don't expect the world. - Firstly let me start by saying I'm big on relativity and what I mean by that is if you buy this sub £50 DVR and expect Apple or TiVO standard viewing experiences you will be sorely disappointed but if you bear in mind this is a sub £50 device you'll be delighted. We've been a Virgin customer for years but the price was going up to literally £180 a month which is way over priced so we cancelled Virgin but I still like to be able to record stuff, hence getting this box. I knew this device was small but wow when it arrived it was actually smaller than I even thought - which is great. It takes up little space. It also includes an HDMI cable which was a nice touch as I've bought £200+ DVD players before that don't come with a cable. It comes with everything you need to get started, including batteries. As I say, if you remember it's sub £50 then it's a delightful device but it has some flaws: - While recording you can't view the EPG or change channels - you're stuck. - Recordings, instead of getting named by their title, get named by the TV channel so instead of The Young Ones it will be BBC which is annoying. - The UI looks like it's from the early 90s. - While it recording it flashes a recording symbol on the top right throughout which really annoys me. It also has some good points: - Easy to use. - Plug in USB drive and record - recordings are unencrypted and h.264 and I believe it supports h.265 too. I've plugged in a 2TB external hard drive and it's working perfectly. - The remote can learn your TV on/off and volume +/1 so you can just use the one remote for general usage. If I'd paid £200 or even £150 I'd probably be greatly dissapointed but for £50 - it does the job and saving me £180 a month on Virgin so I can't complain. I would definitely recommend this little device for this price point.

A: For the best results and adequate storange we would recomend a USB 3.0 with 64 GB memeory

**Q: What size external hard drive can be used**

We recommend no more than 1TB but when using an external hard drive we highly recommend using an external hard drive that is powered by your outlet rather than the USB as this may cause problems when reading/writing.
