ecorder. Satellite TV and Radio programs can be
recorded and played back on the TV with perfect digital quality using an optional
USB 2.0 drive. The maximum USB 2.0 drive capacity is 500GB and must be
formatted to FAT32. If the drive is not formatted to FAT32, a free software
program called SwissKnife (www.compuapps.com) is available online to format
with a PC (MAC computers automatically format as FAT32). Always format a
new drive with the DVR1100c before recording (see page 23).
The USB hard drive can also be connected to a MAC or PC for transferring,
archiving and viewing the recorded programming. Transfer programs onto your
laptop for enjoying programs on the road! Many computer viewing programs
are available free online for download. Example: PC - Media Player Classic-
Homecinema (www.mpc-hc.sourceforge.net) & MAC - iSkySoft (http://www.
iskysoft.com) .
It is simple to burn digital quality DVD copies of a TV program in just minutes
with iSkySoft for MAC and Video

TVSuite
(www.videoredo.com) for PC.
This software also will rip files so you can enjoy TV and Radio programs on your
iPod or MP3 player. VideoReDo will transfer home movies, photos, MP3’s onto
the USB drive for display on your TV or audio system through the DVR1100c.
Connect a compatible FAT32 formatted USB 2.0 drive up to 500GB capacity
to enable recording functions. For maximum compatibility, the USB drive must
be formatted with the receiver when connecting for the first time. Do not use a
computer to delete recordings from the drive. Always use the receiver to delete
recorded files.
The USB drive may not work if it features power saving sleep functions or
automatic data back-up. A current list of verified drives is available at www.
geosatpro.com.
Program recording can be started quickly with the INSTANT RECORD button,
PAUSE button or set up as a timed event. If the program title is listed with the
EPG (Electronic Program Guide) button, highlight the desired program and press
the RECORD button. The program record date, start and duration times will be
automatically set.
