Its not possible, DTH operators protect their recording with encryption which will let you watch those only on tv, not on PC.

I think you did not get my words. There is absolutely no way you can watch any kind of DTH STB recording in PC by plugging the pen drive or external HDD as the recordings are HDCP Encryption protected. You have to use some kind of Capture devices like DVRs or Avermedia Game Capture which cost > 10K

Exactly. Can't watch even on other STB of same company.

Bro, u cannot watch them anywhere else. Only with the same VC, and the same channel being subscribed by you (when you want to view the recorded stuff), can you view it. Its DRM bro.

BTW, can anyone give me ideas as to how capacious a pen drive should I be using as the recording device? I use the Dishtv tru HD+ stb.

And, any guides on how to live pause the TV? I cannot get the hang of it.

I thought I should post it here without starting a new thread, so here goes.

I recently acquired a new Dishtv truHD+ connection at my place.

Since it has the USB recording function claiming to have "live pause TV" function, I did not find any detailed procedure for pausing tv in the supplied manual.

The remote has all the buttons for recording (play, pause, forward/rewind, next track/previous track, and of course, the record).

But what do I exactly do to pause TV and resume from that position?

Please advise.

PS: Using a 4GB HP flash drive.
