What is your experience with this? In the description of the USB port it mentions "USB (standard, format, playback, transfers), USB 2.0 Full Speed, Format: FAT 16, FAT 32"

When it says "transfers" does that mean that I can connect an external usb drive to it and dub or record tv to a hard drive? I have asked a couple of sales people in some local shops and they just look at me...
