No matter what drive I connect (USB or SATA) it's showing no write access in FX File Manager. There's an option in FX to SETUP write access, but the next screen says "direct volume access was denied" If I click on the next arrow I receive the following popup System error: "This device does not appear to support the Android Storage Access Framework. (Error: ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE not implemented by device.)

I wish I was one of them, LOL.

Yeah, there's a known bug that's being worked on...I tried every which way to use added storage and no dice. Formatted on box, pre-formatted, internal, external...nothing is writable.

I can see all of the shows I set to record, but when I click on them it says ""No recordings found" This is with Recordings storage location set to Internal shared storage.

No, not even with just the default 128GB drive. The recordings are listed in PVR folder, but files appear to be missing and won't play.

I've tried several SATA, SSD drives and USB drives formatted as NTFS and exFAT, even tried delete volume and let the XRS4900 format each drive. In every case I am unable to create folders or copy files to the drives. I've been trying to figure this out all day and no luck. The goal is to add a 1TB SSD drive to use for PVR recordings and media storage only. If it's not possible with the internal SATA port, I have a Seagate 1TB external USB 3.0 drive that I can use instead. If anyone has any ideas for me to try or a link to a guide, I would really appreciate any help!

OK, hopefully they find a solution soon. I'm bummed because Ethernet was working fine until I stumbled my way into recovery mode, lol. It's right next to my router, so 5Ghz wifi is getting the job done for now 👍

I did hear back quickly from support and I downloaded the recovery file and did the External Recovery. It's up and running now, except after the update the ethernet is not working anymore 😞

I'm stuck in the same recovery screen loop and I don't know how to get out of it. I just finished setting up my new XRS4900 and in configuration menu I selected backup config to USB drive. That sounded like a good idea, who doesn't want backups after setting everything up just right and adding accounts, etc. Now I'm stuck and the box will only boot to Android recovery FML. If anyone knows how to escape this predicament, I'd be very happy to hear!It's the exact same screen as in the OP's picture. Please note, I was not experiencing any problems with Ethernet or connectivity, I was merely finishing up the setup of a new box.
