Question to Philips support or anyone in the know.

I recently purchased a 40PFL6606T/12.

As USB recording was mentioned by the rep/promo info I then went and paid £79.99 for a suitable USB HDD only to find that no matter what I do I cannot get the thing to record on USB. There is no record button / indicator in the EPG.

I then read that I need to change the programme guide to : Update from Network. I have done this and still no option to record.

Unless I am doing something wrong I find this rather disappointing as this set was advertised and still is as able to record onto USB.

I even re installed the channels to France / Germany and Ireland to find that I then get an IP-EPG error or Bad Request when opening the EPG.

Can some one please advise me ? Sorry to sound frustrated but I am.....

Otherwise very pleased with the image quality etc.

Many thanks in advance.

Ron.
