Just wanted to say for the interest of other Ariva 52E owners, that i purchased an external hard-drive, 'Western Digital Elements 2.0 2TB' and a USB Hub, 'Belkin 2.0 7-port Hub', and both work great with this receiver.

I have recorded a tv program to this hard-drive, (with USB Hub also connected), and could play this back without a problem.

I then connected my Ferguson W02 Wifi adapter to one of the free ports on the Hub, and this worked too, after waiting a few minutes for my router to connect up.

Hope this will be useful to those wishing to purchase an external hard-drive & USB Hub!

Just hope YouPorn & Daily Motion start to work again soon!

regards,
