[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1139438, member: 82144"] [USER=63839]@Edalex[/USER] is right about importing WTV files as recordings. Adding them to the videos section is easy; adding them as recordings is a completely different story. I'd recommend caution with this approach. While USB sticks may have fast read access, the write access can be slower than a traditional HDD... and that can obviously have an impact on channel change times. Anecdotally, USB controllers also seem to have more issues (eg. bad controller drivers that have high or spiky DPC latency; bandwidth contention due to the number of connected devices and/or motherboard design) than traditional HDDs. If you don't want to use your SSD for timeshifting (which is understandable, though perhaps not as much of a concern as you might imagine) and you don't have enough RAM (memory) available to create a RAM disk, then I would probably recommend using a traditional HDD before I'd recommend a USB stick... but perhaps it's worth trying both and seeing real world results before deciding.
