Beoplay V1 and recording

6 replies

hello, is it possible to record TV on an external hard drive or usb keys?

Short answar .. No, it isn't

Sure 🙁 it's not possible recording Tv On external Hrd disk ?

My dealer told me the same.
Hardware wise this is not impossible since it shares the same logic as the bv11. In the earlier softwares it even had help texts about recordings in the V1.

This just means that B&O have chosen to disable the feature in software just to bring people to buy the more expensive bv11. Pretty cheap if you ask me.

Since they can also charge extra for a built in hdd (required for their activation of the service, they do :). I think they could allow for recording to a connected USB drive. Most other new tvs offer this today for a much lower price anyhow.

The "build in hhd of the BV11" is not just a harddrive - it is a hhd/tuner-solution!

I guess there wouldn't be enough space for this in the V1.
