Hi there

Sorry, Im a little confused. Can you explain why you are registering the USB drive? Do you want to record Freeview TV?

Where does Netflix come into this?

Cheers

I am living in Denmark so no freeview, i am useing a VPN

with gives me a USA IP and the TV is on this network,

i also have all the SEN icons on this network.

I could of course change this to a Danish IP network

if you think it might help?

Hi there

I got the idea now. You dont need to register the USB drive for use on netflix or any other smart app. You only need to register the USB drive if you want to record TV shows using the TVs internal tuner. You cannot record from netflix to USB.

If you are using the USB drive to playback media files, it does not need to be registered.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi there

Yes, I remember well now. You previously had this problem in this thread:

We were not able to resolve your problem then, and unfortunately the answer is the same, Unless another forum member has can assist or has another idea, as I cannot find a resolution for this - I simply do not know. Your best be is to contact Sony Support in Denmark and see if they can assist.
