    Newbie help required, - Recording playback issue, audio but black screen

    Hi folks,
    Total newbie to satellite boxes, introduced to them by a work colleague who set mine up with a Maxtor external drive for recording, formatted FAT32. My issue is that I can record something to the hard drive, it shows in the directory but when I try to play it back I get the audio but the screen is black. If I press pause on the remote I get the play/stop/pause strip along the bottom of the screen, but still no picture. Any help gratefully received, please explain in simple terms due to me being a dinosaur with computers!
    Andy.

    You are best Initialising the HDD to Ext4 which is a must for Timeshift/Recordings etc.
