Setting up your Better TV device for recording has never been easier! Please ensure that you have a USB stick with storage capacity between 32GB-1TB. Also, it is recommended that you use a SanDisk USB stick for recording on your box.

Please note: Make sure your USB is backed up if there is anything important on it as formatting and initialising your USB will erase all content

For steps on formatting your USB, see below:

  1. Insert your USB stick into one of your PC's or laptop's USB ports

  2. Right-click on the USB drive and select 'Format'

  3. Select the 'File System' as 'NTFS' and tick the 'Quick Format' option

To start recording with your formatted USB, follow the steps below:

  1. Plug in your USB stick into the USB port, at the back of your Better TV device.

  2. Turn on your Better TV device. A notification should appear, requesting that you initialise your USB stick. Select Initialise.
