On my TV the first command complains

/sbin/mkfs.ext4 -f -d file,name=pvrimage,size=1536m
/sbin/mkfs.ext4: invalid option -- 'f'
Usage: mkfs.ext4 [-c|-l filename] [-b block-size] [-C cluster-size]
[-i bytes-per-inode] [-I inode-size] [-J journal-options]
[-G flex-group-size] [-N number-of-inodes]
[-m reserved-blocks-percentage] [-o creator-os]
[-g blocks-per-group] [-L volume-label] [-M last-mounted-directory]
[-O feature[,...]] [-r fs-revision] [-E extended-option[,...]]
[-t fs-type] [-T usage-type ] [-U UUID] [-jnqvDFKSV] device [blocks-count]


I don't know where to do this...

Then I tried

mount -t ifs -o loop pvrimage /dtv/usb/sda/nfs/192.168.0.14/tvshows

and it says "no such device"

I tried this: mount -t ifs -o loop pvrimage 192.168.0.14:/volume2/tvshows/
and I got the same result

It should be xfs:) Besides for your tv I believe it's different (ext4?).
<MOUNT POINT> means a directory that exists Are you sure your "mount point" exists ?

mkfs you can do anywhere you want It can be even done on windows (don't know how, I don't use windows ) and the file can be then copied to the nas. But there is one more thing that concerns me Your question was:
"How to record to NAS?":) I am slowly pointing you in a right direction but from your commands I suspect that you want to record to the nas to have remote access to your recording WITHOUT using the TV. Is that correct ?

Yeah it is ext4 I think. I was told in another message

which directory? I can access my NAS from the TV.

Yeah I know that but when you let's say record remotely 10 tv shows to NAS do you want to be able to access/open/read them remotely from the NAS WITHOUT the TV? Or will you be accessing this recordings only from TV ?

I thought if I record them to the TV and maybe there is a way to decrypt them as well, I can stream them to my iPad or watch them on the go.

Hehe. You can but not using my method What you want to achieve requires few tricks and there is no easy way to achieve this The best way is to use decrypt.sh script to download directly from TV

I first need to find out how to record to NAS.
I am close to giving up, because nobody can really provide some help. I know a bit of coding and running scripts but I am stuck here. I get frustrated. I read bits everywhere across the forum, and everyone seems to know something. But giving a really helpful answer seems to do be possible somehow.

Sorry. It's just sad

You are mistaken you are close to getting recording to nas working but far from iPad streaming That's completely different task and recording to nas will not get you any closer I suspect that your nas drive is already accessible from iPad ?

Yes of course it is accessible. From anywhere in the world. I have even set up my webserver and email server myself.

I have mounted the NFS Share so I can watch movies on my TV. That works. the only thing is I have to run the nfsmount script manually as it doesn't start when the TV starts.
So now I need to just record to my NAS instead of to the HDD.

At least for starters....
