yes mate, already tried that, and it works, menu storage pops out when i plus an external usb hdd, the problem was the internal connector not powering internal hdd, instead of rma im powering internal hdd with an external specific 5 euros psu.

So the issue was with the HDD you're trying to power up rather than the manufacturer of the box or the image used?

no, issue was decoder's motherboard NOT powering up from the internal connector, i "solved" it by powering the hdd with an external psu while leaving it plugged to the internal sata interface.

and i've used only the psu part without usb adapter.

for sicilian, i tried a "normal" 2.5" laptop hdd and nothing, i also checked with a tester and zero, no power from the internal connector, very strange issue, isn't it? maybe this is also why i read a lot of complaining about recording with this decoder, may be a powering issue? i will not rma my decoder, if i can fix something i just fix it, maybe it will work even better like this, recordings for me are perfect, i hope this can help someone, really.

Beside that i'm really happy with this machine, smoking fast, dvb-t works like a charm and gigabit lan is awesome (transfer speed around 70 MBytes /s) but i agree with some ppl that SD image is very poor, i remember et9000 had same issue before they updated video drivers, so, i doubt it's an hardware problem. (my decoder is set to 1080p, same for my tv, and i can barely read channel name in sd)
