If you have a Sky receiver, you can also record Sky films using an external hard drive. This extension is called Sky Plus.
Connect the hard drive to the Sky receiver
Of course, Sky wants external hard drives from Sky to be used to record films. Unfortunately, they aren't exactly cheap. Comparable hard drives from other providers are significantly cheaper. Unfortunately the Sky receiver does not accept this.
- There are several instructions on the Internet for connecting other hard drives. Unfortunately, these don't work in most cases. In addition, the procedure varies for different hard drives.
- However, you can try formatting your hard drive to FAT32 and then connecting it to the receiver via USB.
How to connect Sky external hard drive
If you have a Sky hard drive, connect it to your receiver in just a few steps:
- Connect the USB and SATA cables to the receiver. The cables each have the same color as the port into which they must be plugged.
- Restart the receiver. The setup should now work step by step without any problems.
