Step-by-Step Technical Resolution
1
Connect an external USB 3.0 / 3.1 Portable SSD (e.g. Samsung T7 or SanDisk Extreme) to the USB 3.0 port (blue port).
2
On Formuler home screen, go to Settings > Storage.
3
Select your external drive > choose 'Format as Removable Storage' (using NTFS or exFAT file systems).
4
Do NOT format as FAT32, which corrupts recordings larger than 4GB.
5
Open MYTVOnline 3 > Settings > DVR Options.
6
Set 'Recording Storage' and 'Timeshift Storage' to your dedicated SSD.
7
Enable 'Permanent Timeshift' for 60-minute pause/rewind capabilities on all live channels.
