as I said earlier, it has to be formatted to fat32 on the box
if using a laptop , format it using a specialised formatting tool , like easeus partition manager or minitool partition wizard , in fat32 (not ntfs and not any other format either) - NOT using windows file explorer or windows formatting tools
windows has a fat32 limit of 32gb (always has done)

the thread I linked contains a lot of information about overcoming this 32gb restriction
once the box can record and play back , its in the correct format for the box
this does not mean that the recordings are in the correct format for playback on a tv or in a pc or it may mean they need specialised playback tools like VLC or similar , you may find the recordings wont play back on any tv if they cannot handle the codecs required (especially not TS files)
a tv will typically play back mp4 , possibly divx , probably not .ts files or similar
I have just checked a 32gb pen drive and its formatted in fat32 and the recordings are in ts format so I doubt that a tv can play them (although the spiderbox can play them because it recorded them and must have the codecs embedded)
a tv will expect the pen drive to be formatted in fat32 as well , not ntfs
I am surprised that you have a 1tb pen drive as I struggled finding one when I searched last night
if you are playing back a recording made on the pen drive whilst it is actually in the spiderbox , press OK or the PAUSE button to pause the playback , press again to continue playback
if you have pressed the "instant record" button , press the PAUSE button to pause a live recording , at say an advert break, then resume when the programme restarts
