Having read advice on this site I bought a WD 2.5" SSD plus USB adapter so that I could pause and record FreeSAT which is built-in to the TV. Is there a particular way to set up the drive and if so how? I've plugged the drive in and can connect to it via Settings but it only offers the options of using media stored on the drive to be shown on screen. I want to pause live TV and record it. Does anyone know if this can be done please?
