Recording from a DU8500 tv

[Graham2025]

Hi

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to record directly onto a hard drive or memory stick, from a DU8500 tv

Hi @Graham2025 Welcome to the Samsung Community    It appears that this model does not have a record function (reviews mention this)  as tends to be the case with lower end Tv's.

Genweral guide here but dependent on model/region   https://www.samsung.com/ae/support/tv-audio-video/set-up-and-record-programs-on-a-samsung-tv/

Thanks James for such a helpful reply. You're right that this model does not have the recording function. I wonder whether it's possible to use an external pvr?

Yes,you would be able to connect a Freeview Recorder. Some examples here https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/best-freeview-boxes-recorders-tv/

Thanks James
I'll have a go at connecting a recorder. I may need help then with accessing it through my tv.
Thanks again.

Oh right, no problem. Just  ensure you are on right source but can give further advice if needed.
