Thank you for your help I will be moving in a couple of months to a place with very poor terrestrial TV so I will be switching to free sat. I will live with the problem until then.
I had 80% signal strength and had the problem which caused me to think this was the cause so I fitted an amp to boost it to 100% but no change so I don't think that is the cause!
It's all channel and signal strength and quality are 100 % but recordings seem not to be effected but when watching the recording I normally get an error message.
Looking at Manufactures specs that is not the case.
I have an 5K1000-1000 which is marked 5V 700mA and the 4000 does not see it at all even though it spins up.
It works fine on 2 laptops and I have tried Fat32 and NTFS format so I can only assume that the power consumption is the problem ?
Does anyone know of a hard disk model that will work when powered from the USB port.
I am having problems finding a drive that consumes less than 500mA which is the spec for the PVR
