ditto. Aren't you just excited about the digital swap over.

Over the moon, I am.



Oh well, never mind, I hope the recording function works but I'll not
know that until I can get an external USB HDD.

Those cheap USB sticks work okay, say 4Gb plus.

Ah, I have a bunch of 8GB flash drives lying around somewhere - I had
thought it'd take several 100GBs to do a recording but then I never did
sit down and calculate what I really needed and I was looking for an
excuse to buy a 500GB external USB HDD.

HD uses much more than SD. I *think* HD is about 4GB per hour. SBS and
ABC broadcast in lower definition HD, so you probably get longer
recording per GB. Don't forget that most channels are still SD, even
though they're digital. Each broadcaster only gets one HD channel,
IIRC.
