TV KDL-26EX553 How to record on a USB stich?
Hello, I'm using your TV model and after having read its documentation I wonder if it is capable to let user to record a TV programme on a USB stich (pen drive); if yes how?
If not I do suggest you to add that feature via a software upgrade.
Thank you.

Hi there
USB Recording is available on your TV.
- Firstly, you will need a USB drive of 32GB or more. From forum member experiences though, 64GB or higher gives better results.
- Plug the USB Drive into the USB port labled "HDD Rec"
- You will then need to register this USB drive to the TV. See instruction : HERE
- For one touch recording, see instruction : HERE
- For timer recording, see instructions : HERE
- To watch what you have recorded, see instructions : HERE
- To delete what you have recorded, see instructions : HERE
- To pause live TV, see instructions : HERE
Hopefully this helps
Cheers

Your welcome
Unfortunately the recorded files cannot be played back on a PC or any other device. This is because the recordings are encrypted. This is not just Sony. All manufacturers must encrypt recordings made from a device that has a DVB-T2 Tuner (ie. Freeview HD). Its mandatory to encrypt recordings made from a HD channel, but not from a SD channel. However most manufacturers encrypt both SD and HD recordings anyhow.
Hope that explains things.
Cheers

Your welcome.
As far as I understand it, I dont think people are too worried about 'cracking it' as many of the shows are available on various other services (ie catch up TV / Netflix etc). Also you probably need some type of engineering degree/skills - and I wont pretend to say I have them as I dont
