Initially I tried a much higher sized USB drive and it went crazy, rebooting and rejecting settings. At the 32gb level all those problems vanished.
The EPG only shows one channel at a time, but is clear and setting a recording is easy. If you need to expand on the start and end times of a recording press the blue button and easily change the times.
Recordings via a USB pen drive can be used on a computer.
Unlike some PVRs works well with recording radio files as well.
Excellent help available by email and was given very prompt replies.
The USB Drive should be formatted NTFS.
A neat package and at the price it is very good value for money

Recording TV Show - Inbuilt 256GB SSD + External
Save Live and scheduled recordings to the huge 256GB SSD, or you can use an inserted USB for extra dedicated storage. You can manually assign the USB for timeshift only and the internal storage for recording only. Save space for your favourites!
Complete Channel List
You’ll be spoilt for choice! The August DVB502 decodes over 100 Freeview channels. You can view programs in advance on the EPG. Set up a parental lock to block channels, and use the channel manager or favourites menus to create isolated, unique program guides for children
Timeshift Live TV Controls
Pause, rewind and play content from Live TV with the press of a button. With a Timeshift buffer you can keep a rolling recording of Live TV, so when the doorbell goes or you need to take a call you can pause seamlessly. Then, fast-forward back to Live through the ads!
Connect Extra External Storage (Not Included)
Simply connect your TV and your aerial cable to use the box. USB external storage is optional and connects directly into the box for extra Timeshift and recording space. The unit is small, light, and stylish with a sleek black finish
Dolby Audio Enhanced
Experience immersive audio with Dolby Audio compatible devices. Lower background noise and hear clearer voices, powerful soundtracks and wider audio range. From hard-hitting documentaries all the way to childrens TV, enhance your TV with Dolby Audio
Audio Descriptive Services
One of the accessibility features of DVB502. AD (Audio Description) can be enabled and set as default, so you can be sure that all compatible broadcasts use Audio Description for those with poor vision. AD volume can be changed, so you can always hear the description
Language and Subtitles
For use with UK and Europe terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-T2 signals the set top box supports multiple languages. Set OSD (On Screen Display), subtitle and audio language all independently! Subtitles can be enabled directly with the handy SUB-T button on the remote for easy access
