If you want to record to/play from an external hard drive, you will need it to be formatted in FAT 32 file system. A complete step by step guide on how to do so using Windows and a free program can be found here.

With the supplied cables, you use one for your source (DVD player, cable box, VCR, etc), then the other cable will go to one of your video inputs on the back of your TV. The cable from the source will go into the AV IN on the back of the OSD, and the cable to your TV will be coming from the AV OUT on the Neuros OSD.

This capability is not built into the OSD by default, but there is an easy 5-minute "hack" that will allow you to add this functionality. crweb has ported an ftp server that can be downloaded and run on the OSD. Follow the README for directions. You should then be able to use any ftp client to connect to your OSD and upload videos, pictures, music... whatever.

Once connected, you preview what you want to record through the TV. Then when you know what you want to record, you hit the record button and enjoy the show. Then after you're done, hit the record button again, your file will be saved to whatever storage device you use. You will be able record to either a memory card, USB device (PSP, iPod, external hard drive, etc.) or PC (network required).

Don't expose your laptop to resonating noises, for example loud bass noise from speakers, heavy machinery.

In computing, there is never enough space on your existing hard drive. As applications take up more space and with video editing, digital photography, and digital music becoming more popular, there is an increased need for hard drive storage. A hard drive enclosure kit allows you to replace your existing hard drive with a larger capacity drive and recycle your old drive for external storage. External storage kits are also popular for mobile computing.

Yes. You can play songs directly from a hard drive connected to your computer via firewire or network.

Yes! The 7-Series can power an external drives only when powered from external DC. The 7-Series will not power a drive off of its attached Li-Ion battery alone. There is not enough voltage from the Li-Ion battery to support bus powering.

Yes. The external drive shows up just like CF or hard drive in the File Viewer. Files can be moved to and from it, played, info can be viewed, etc. Additionally, files from at external drive can be copied to internal drives. No. The architecture of the 7-Series allows for realtime recording to any available drive. This is distinctly different than implementations from other company's products. There are two options that V 2.

There are several reasons. First, we have really embraced the open source methodology of product development. Those of you that have followed Neuros development from the beginning know this has been an evolution for us, and not without it's rough spots. Over time, by witnessing the power of the open source, collaborative style of development, we became believers.

Yes, you can use ShredIt for Mac OS X as a hard drive cleaner to erase the contents of a hard drive. We recommend that you do this to clean the drive before you dispose of a hard drive.

Hello. Wouldn't it be better to have a small HD instead? As far as I know, Flash memory has a much higher Gb cost than that of a standard HD. I also know that there are ridiculously small HDs with really large storage capacity, at least in comparison to the meager 512Mb you currently propose. Wouldn't a larger capacity storage help to extend the life of such a machine? The biggest single point of failure of laptops is the HD. We are opting for robustness over more on-board storage.

First, Your PC or notebook must support "External USB-HDD Boot up" function. Second, to make sure all the USB cables and power cord all firmly connect to USB slots or power in-lets. No. You must start re-boot process over again. At this moment, you must choose the correct date version you want.

Before you click Ok, you should decide: do you want to move the photos you already have to that location? If so, check the box "Move photos from old storage(s) to new storage". If you don't check it, fine. Only new albums you create will be located in the new drive. Notice that when you check that box, only photos that were copied from removable media are moved: photos that were already in your local drives stay where they are.

Technically yes, but if you move the drive to another computer, the game will not work. It is bonded to the PC to which it is installed. For this reason, we recommend that you do not install it on ANY removable storage device.

This feature is not currently supported. This future feature is controlled by software which can be downloaded by your cable service provider when the software company provides the update. As an alternate solution for archiving standard resolution recordings today, you can use your VCR.

While the OSD and the AppleTV are marketed to a very different crowd, a comparison is certainly warranted due to their similar features and functionality.
