My Sky Plus box has a USB(2) socket fitted to it ? Do I need any drivers ? What format will the video files be stored in ? Is there any point me trying to transfer videos to my PC ? Alternatively - is the USB socket designed for a HardDisk for extra storage ?
When i saw the usb socket on my box i bought a leed, and conected it to my pc and nothing happened. i use windows xp so it should pick it up but nothing. i dont think it's for an external hd but not sure.
I have received an answer (of sorts) from Sky
