This should work, on a working system, if the caddy is not expecting to power the HDD from the USB port (which can only provide sufficient power for a 5V-only "portable" HDD). But with a dodgy system there are too many unknowns. If the OP tried it and reported the results, further guidance...

I don't understand why there would be any confusion about this: I suppose I could edit it to underline the "must"...

So much noise, not much signal. 1. I don't see as there is any impediment to decryption using the Chromebook. The OP has stated the files can ba accessed on the HDD, and that is all there is to it. 2. The "capacitor fault" cause the HDR-FOX to go through a repetitive reboot cycle while the...

Yes I am aware of that but I was hoping the links in the first post could be updated or the files the links link to replaced. There is a problem in that anyone coming across this thread will assume Post 1 is valid.

Bump. @prpr @af123

So just download and run the Stripts utility (see previous reference) to decrypt the recordings you're interested in. There may be some wrinkles with library support, but I'm sure we can overcome those. Note that, on the Linux console (AKA command line), to run an executable in the current...

I strongly disagree, unless the OP wants to acquire (or has access to) another HDR-FOX. Booting a PC to run Linux from USB is straightforward (there are plenty of instructions available), and running the Stripts utility (decryption tool) native in Linux is straightforward. Modern Linux...

Rescuing Recordings from a Dead HDR-FOX

:roflmao: I can just imagine the look on the face of a GenZ asking for WiFi being handed a RJ45!

You can also use it to reassign buttons and create macros. IR has far more capability than just provide a virtual RC!

WebIF >> Settings >> Setting for ir package >> Click here for options >> Block remote control mode change icons? = YES Simples. Same place to disable volume controls (for those wanting to reserve volume adjustments to the TV).

BE AWARE that end padding takes priority over new recordings, so if you're to free and easy with it you'll end up losing the beginning of subsequent recordings (on other channels, depending on the number of tuners in use).

They seem happy to blame communications problems for subtitling, when that requires far less bandwidth than the video!

That's as may be, but once people are using on-demand, each individual requires a stream and it can't be multi-dropped any more. So what are they going to do, store the last two weeks of every channel on a local server? I don't think so.

I don't know, but the Freely advertising says "no need for an aerial, just WiFi", which is the same as Sky Glass. All well and good while the numbers are low, but I can't believe there is enough bandwidth to cope with mass adoption. I think the same about cars with radar: fine while there's...
