Hi,
I recently bought a new 49" curved TV - Model UE49NU7300KXXU. Series 7 I believe.
Not my first samsung TV, but the best one by miles, in terms of picture quality.
However there is one thing I cannot get working and thats the TV recording to USB HDD feature (Timeshift/Scheduled Recording etc). I am using a 1TB Western Digital "My Passport AV-TV" HDD, specifically for TV recording and it works perfectly on my other two 32" samsung models. When I plug it into the two smaller models and go to "Guide" and try to record it does a disk performance test and a format etc and tells me the feature is now ready to use. However when I plug it into my new TV it sees it and asks me do I want to browse it, which I can, but I cannot get the record feature in the guide to appear. When I pres spause on live TV it just says "Not available".
I have done a factory reset of the new TV and the software version is the most up to date at 1152.8. Still no joy.
On the HDD, I have formatted the drive, deleted the partition and created a new simple volume etc. I have formatted in NTFS, FAT etc and changed type from MBR to GPT etc. Still nothing. I'm beginning to think the TV doesn't have the feature to record, despite having one of the USB ports marked as a HDD port, like to two older TVs. I also notice there is no actual record button on my remote, which is on the other two models.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?
Regards,
Kieran.

I will be returning my new Samsung UE43NU7020 as well if I can. My 'old' TV, an entry level UE32H5500 is quicker to respond to remote control, has better navigation of TV guide and records to USB drive. Really cheeky of Samsung to sell a new TV with bolt standard features removed.
