Are there any plans to add freeview recording to USB stick?

[Anonymous User]

The box seems pretty good and I'm looking to ditch my aging freeview PVR.

Are there any plans to add recording freeview to a USB memory stick/hdd? 

If it can already pause live tv for half hour then surely this isn't unfeasible?

Hi @Anonymous User

I haven't heard anything regarding any plans for this.

However I will move it to the Idea's board.

Thanks

It'd be a good idea, but with the catch-up tv apps for the main channels on the Now TV Smart Box, it makes a PVR partially redundant.

Wouldn't a recording function be beyond the smart box's capability, technologically speaking?

Sounds like an excellent idea.... maybe it's down to encoding the files so they cannot be used off the device?  Could be a reason why it's not yet been implimented
