Here's the story:
my parents have satellite TV. The Satellite decoder thing has HD, hard drive and stuff, BUT can't get the recordings out. So the only way to extract is playing the film, serie or whatever you have and having another HDD recording (one that allows taking the stuff out via USB). And that's what I'm looking for now.
My father bought something from iomega, but after reading a dozen of bad opinions (slow, as in "need 3 minutes from boot to start playing", horrendous interface, upgrades that break stuff "mkv not working with last firmware") and the fact there is absolutely no info in the manufacter's web, I've told him to return it, but I have no idea of what should he buy, since I don't even have a TV myself. Looking for something good led me to 200€+ buy yourself the hard disk, kind of expensive for what my parents need, so I'm just clueless
Anybody with any experience with this kind of item?
