  • One button record, if you decide you want to record the current programme.
  • Easy programmable recording from the 7 day TV Guide

Due to the nature of the product, it is necessary to use a high speed USB memory stick (as the TV reads from and writes to the memory stick at the same time, some memory sticks may not be suitable).
