I have a 1TB WD external HD that I was using with my Mac but have bought a 2 TB replacement. I wish to use the first one on my TV but it only records about five minutes from the TV. I have "erased" using Disk Utility--still only recordsd five minutes. What do I need to do to make it take a recording from my TV, and what are the steps?

How is the 1TB drive formatted? The maximum file size for FAT32 is 4GB so it would probably have to be formatted as exFAT to overcome the 4GB limitation, provided the TV supports exFAT.

Thank you for the tip.
