If you would like multiple USB drives for this purpose you will need to ensure they are NTFS formatted.

The August DVD400 is a set-top box at the cheaper end of the market for watching free-to-air digital TV with simple recording features. As I'm now getting many more channels on the August box than I was before I find it works better if any channels unlikely to be watched are removed from the menu as quickly as possible. One advantage over the big boys is that you can then take your recordings and transfer them to your PC/NAS/tablet, although August really need to sort out the file name as it currently just shows the channel and the date/time stamp so when you’ve a lot of recordings you’ve no way of easily finding what you’re after.

Once the USB is filled with your favourite programs you can switch to a new stick, getting more space without having to clean out the recordings! The timer on mine for example is extremely temperamental and sometimes refuses to come out of standby mode when a recording is due.
