If I plug an ssd into my router and tick the Tivo box the disk comes up as another Tivo box on my V6.
Originally I could only see the directories and asked in my original question what file type was needed for the file to be seen by the V6 box.
The Netgear docs say mpeg1 and mpeg2. Sure enough on recoding a video to mpeg1 it appeared as a file in the previously empty folder structure.
files with non-mpeg1/2 such as mp4 (regardless of naming) do not appear leading me to think the V6 is checking the format.
You are wrong sir! How about you help rather than give off the cuff answers that are clearly wrong! This is the second incorrect answer you have given.
The file would not play due to a content restriction.
It is rather obvious to me that the code has not been removed from the V6 box (in the UK) as I would not have got this far. It may be that it has been crippled in some way but it has most definitely not been removed (why you think it should is beyond me).
