How To PAUSE & RECORD Live TV

- Hi, this video shows you how to record and pause live television. You can use a USB Flash Drive or a external hard drive (HDD). A really cheap option is to recycle an old laptop hard drive and buy a HDD caddy for £3. You can pause Live TV, Rewind and Record Live TV and also do series recording via your EPG (Electronic Programme guide). Alot of televisions have this feature and I think it is very useful.
Many thanks Vince
just got rid of sky, already had samsung smart tv and hard drive, thanks to your video have sorted our future viewing, thanks Vince

Very clear instructions..some talk so fast I don’t understand them. I’m now off to Amazon to get my usb sticks. Thanks
Thank you, that tutorial was the best I have watched. You made it all so clear. I had been struggling to know what to buy to record from my Samsung Smart TV which is wall mounted.

Awesome. Never knew I could do this. Thanks Vince!
Cheers Ian.
If you use a powered hub you can use the more powerful units.

Legend knows how to do everything 🙏
Thank you for this video, but after record will I be able to watch on PC?
The reason the hard drive is a different size is it is likely that there is a hidden partition on the drive, likely for restoration of Windows. If you use disk management software or Linux you should be able to fully flatten it and format fully.
If USBs are not reporting correct size again maybe hidden partitions or if new, possibly not a genuine stick.
I've never tried this with any TV's, might give it a try with mine. Cheers Vince

Usb flash drives like you showed didnt work for me ,in my webOS lg tv :( so i bought a 1 TB western digital HDD , i hope will work with it
My LG tv has the record time shift function but when I put in 4 gb stick the tv tries to verify the stick and then comes back with ‘this storage device cannot be used for live playback’ any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Great video as always very easy to follow.
mate my samsung is is new but when I plug in USB to HDD nothing formats... and when I try press record nothing happens... why could this be?
Can you watch something from another source such as netflix and still record from freeview play?

Hi Vince, I'm using usb stick on my smart tv..it records fine but says I cant use it for pause..any ideas please?
All what we are recording on an external HDD will be able to open only on tv ,if we are connect the hdd on a pc will not be able to see what is record one .Is any way to have acces on pc of what we are record ?Thank you for the beautifull share .
Hi, I can only view it on the TV that I recorded it on. I don't know if it is possible to view it on the PC.
Many thanks Vince
My Mate VINCE Unfortunately it is not possible to view it on any other device
I am watching Freesat on an LG smart tv. I have pause & play button on my remote but it only seems to work on live TV that's streamed via programmes like BBC iPlayer or ITV Hub. When I try to use on Freesat Live it says I need to connect USB storage. I am unsure that buying a USB stick will work. I have also seen a record facility on the TV but do not recall when or where. Would appreciate your advice please. Tricia
Many thanks for this clear and helpful video. I have a recent 65" LG TV with two USB ports and I have tried a brand new 128gb USB stick in both (used the TV to format it) but when I try to pause there is the message that "this storage device cannot be used for live playback. Select a different device". I tried a different stick and the same problem persists. What could I be doing wrong?
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution ?...Many thanks
@@drew6536 Yes, I got the TV to format the USB memory stick using the menu functions. It worked then to record and playback programmes, but will not let me pause live TV.
I want to record my live video feed from a Fpv camera I use to fly my drones with , is there a way to record whatever my tv screen is viewing ?
Thanks for the info. I will try it, but...MegaBITs ? Aitch with and H? Haich D! Lost 30 Megabytes, probably in a separate partition! hard to listen to!
Excellent video! I was trying to record on my Samsung smart tv but didn't realise I needed a usb hard drive to record straight from my tv. Does this hard drive still record if your watching something from a sky box as I'm running out of space on my box?
I have the same question if so please which usb should I buy to record tv channals
thanks but can you tell us how to delete a recorded program on this? i really cant find out how to delete a recorded program here??
I delete recorded programme with my laptop.
Is it possible to pause and rewind using this method. But not from a sky or freeview box. But from an external source like a camera plugged into the HDMI or RCA??
You can use the timeshift function without a record button or at least on Freesat you can if not other services, i have a Samsung tv with a Samsung remote without a record button. I put a usb flash drive into the usb camera socket on the back of the tv purely because it was spare, then i got the option to select all content or videos and such, i pressed all content then it said No stored files found because it was an empty usb i then pressed the source button on the remote to go back to the tv channels, then i pressed the pause button on the remote and it said Not Available.
So thinkng about the format possibility i went into the tv guide, selected a program in the future about half an hour, it gave me the schedule recording option which i pressed and the format options came up so i pressed that. When the usb had finished formatting i got a report of The recording and Timeshift functions are now available. So i went back to the live tv and pressed the pause button and it paused the live tv with rewind, fast forward and the stop button which returns the picture to actual time. Ok i realise this video is nearly four years old and you've probably sussed the info i just gave out by now but it's an active video so i hope it helps someone.

Would it workout with nonsmart tv sumsung telivision
Hi Vince ...... great videos. Pertaining to the video above, Is the RECORD function controlled in the hand held or the TV itself. On my Control is say this function not available. The record button is there.
You have to use the on-screen functionality to record.
What do you format itcss SATA of fat32?
wait. Just by putting a usb stick you can record. Im probably saying a stupid question or just misunderstood.
Hi ...great review mate , I've just bought a new Sony telly and intend to use your advice regarding a usb ..do you need a laptop to delete usb content or will the tv let me delete programs I've recorded ?
Hi, the TV will let you delete recorded content :-)
Thankyou :)
Hi mate, I'd be interested to know which sort of TV service you use, and what sort of stuff you tend to watch? I've networked all my house project with CAT6 and it's nearly time to decide on what to go for.
I've always grown up with SKY, especially for the football, but I refuse to pay the prices anymore. Was looking into either NOWTV or AppleTV, any thoughts?
Cheers.
Hi, I get Virginmedia TV as part of the package but I rarely use it.
I haven't tried Apple TV but I definitely wouldn't go for Now TV. I have had it on 2 occasions, once for a year when it 1st came out and then recently for a few months when I got it free with my phone contract. Now TV isn't compatible with a lot of equipment and once you have it for a few months and caught up with the movies then you tend to not watch it much and I think it is expensive for what you get. I haven't tried out the sports or entertainment on it so that may suit you better.
Personally I like Netflix on the top package with the ultra HD as it is compatible with everything I have tried and also normal HD Freeview. If you were organised and planned the week ahead on a TV guide you can record a lot of good stuff on Freeview to then watch back at a later stage and it doesn't cost anything. I also tend to watch more and more TH-cam videos.
Cheers.
I have tried this - no luck. Do you need any special hardware? I have a 4 years old sayno hd 1080 and a remote control that has a record button. Help!
Insert usb stick in TV. Press the record button.
Ever get it to work? I am in the US and it doesnt work for me.

See we tried that with our vizio and it wouldn't let me rewind the local news when I tried had that little USB inserted in the roku and it worked I'm thinking it's the stupid TV remote supplied by vizio maybe idk..thanks for the info anyway I'll try again later😘

Can you record on dvd
Hi Vince, I have latest Samsung smart tv. I have 250GB hdd attached where i have some of my video. I wants to add more video through recording function. but it can do anything when I press recording button on remote. Please guide me on this issue, I wants to record some video from PS3 to hdd. thanks
Thank you so much for your assistance. It was clearly explained, and well understood. I've been struggling with this for so long, but I'm glad you have shown me how to do it at last. I feel very grateful to you. Many thanks!

On Roku 16gb is all you need ...32gb is total max and anything more is a waste of money..It only records90 mins max and only works on Antenna tv ....
Just for future reference, GigaBits and GigaBytes are two different things. When talking about storage mediums you'd use Gigabytes, Megabytes, Kilobytes.
Bits are used when talking about data transfer from the internet and locally over a network. A Gigabit is actually vastly different in size to a Gigabyte.
Great video though :)

Thanks Danny, I always get them mixed up!!!!!!!!! So the hard drives I used are 80GBps and 120GBps (capital B) which is Gigabytes and my Internet speed with Virginmedia is 70Mbps (small p Not Capital P) so it is Megabits. I need to retain this information but it just seems to constantly vanish from my memory :-)
Almost right Vince. When talking about hard drives or any sort of storage, even RAM its GB as in 500GB (500 Gigabytes) or 1TB (One Terabyte). Just remove the ps from the end.
You're right on the internet side though for most cases.
When the internet's concerned:
Mbps means megabits per second. Mb is used for download and upload speed.
MBps stands for megabytes per second. MB is used for file size.
It is easy to mix them up, and I apologise if I come across as a bit of a stickler pointing this out.
Not at all Danny, I appreciate the info. Makes complete sense now.
Cheers Vince.

Hey there I am using IPTV on a firestick would this work for that setup?
👕
How can I get my volume back off my TV.
is this only what you have on USB drive you can watch
😃
giga BYTE. not the same as gigabit. (8 x bigger)
You only need a 16GB you can only save up to 90 mins on a lot of TVs
It says 8 gigabytes on the flash drive
🕶
The other 30GB on your hdd is probably a hidden partition used for system recovery due to it being originally used in a laptop. To get the full 80GB download the minitool partition free wizard tool. Before loading it connect ur hdd to computer, and then once loaded ull see the drive with 1 partition being 50GB and the other 30GB. Delete both partitions and then create one new one and ull now have the full 80GB back to use as ur pvr drive.

Excellent, thanks for that. I will try it out. Thanks for sharing :-)
It worked, I now have 74.53GB. Thanks again:-)
No problem, glad to hear it worked for you.

Q
it just says “not available”
Same, I looked at the manual and it said that it is unavailable in the USA or in Canada. I think all you have to do is change your region. But I don't know exactly how to do that.
Not with the Sony 950G you can't. It WILL NOT record OTA live broadcast TV to an external USB-HDD. According to Sony,, that feature is "not supported". Unfortunately, I had already bought the damned thing before finding that out. Other Sony Bravia Android TV's WILL so record, and NO REVIEW I saw pre-purchase mentioned the lack of that capability.
