    Bought a new TV yesterday coming home from Donegal. We have a few issues with it, cant record through the USB slots etc. The thing im trying to figure is, i went for ROI set up rather than UK. If i redo it with UK setup, will i be able to get the BBC i player? We are near the border and get both Freeview and Saorview perfectly?

    The i player is delivered over the Internet, being in the RoI it won't work through your Internet.

    Are you sure you can't record to the USB stick? It does need good write speeds on the stick for it (not all are created equal) - I've got a stick on my Samsung and it records fine to it (though it's a b*tch of a system to get to recordings)

    This is a similar version to mine

    Spec says model referred to( 7120) doesn't have a USB record feature.
