Sorry to hijack your thread, but I have the same model tv.(albeit 26"version)
I have installed a 500gb Toshiba HDD btw
However I cannot record a programme.......without watching it as well !, the TV turns over to it at the allotted time, and does not allow me to watch another channel, without stopping recording.
Please tell me my "smart TV" is smarter than that.
