Very useful Martin thanks. You don't make it sound as scary as others who say it is unusable.

So next time I have chance I'm going to rerun Fix-disk now I'm on 3.13 but I'm not expecting a miracle from it. No point not retrying though. In terms of second hand units, anywhere you suggest I look other than the obvious e.g. eBay? I'd buy an Aura with them back in stock but they sound...

Hi, I would appreciate any advice out there if there are any other ways to fix my HDR FOX T2. It has been great for me and I hate the idea of not having it around. I'm just not seeing any good replacement options out there but fear it is end of the line. Feels devastating right now. At the...

Happy to say I've solved this. For anyone running into this the answer is in the thread below and in brief is to queue your decrypts and not run them manually via opt+. https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/decrypting-hd-recordings-not-working.9512/

Additional information. I have just found a similar sized file (6-6.5GB) and tried to decrypt that. That has also failed. Does decryption have issues on larger files?

Hi. For the first time in years I have need to copy a recording off my HDR Fox T2 for use on other devices. Its an HD broadcast file but auto-unprotect has always always removed the Enc flag for me. Today at first I simply downloaded the file (via opt+ from web-if) and it wouldn't play and then...

Just a quick thank you note to prpr (and anyone else) for Tunefix and sorting it and Tunefix update to get out of the complications causes by the renaming of the Mux. As soon as I've found time to look into why I have an issue with missing channels (on COM7) I find the fix is known.

Unless you next say stratifying...

Or alternatively Sod's/Murphy's law. 😂

Successssssss!!!!! Indeed it was corrupt recordings and as always with these things bloody obvious in the end. Thanks very much all for advising. For info if you're interested and for anyone else who ends up here: Monday I was at work and then out all evening. I set the Humax to copy over...

Thanks, you've been really helpful.

Thanks. Onto other ideas then. I'm going to run fix-disk even though this disk is new, just to see if it clears it. The old disk was stuck in a delete loop when I pulled it, I dont see why that should effect files copied onto the new but it's something to try. If that does nothing I'll keep...

So I've worked out how to directly enter at a command prompt which was nice and simple. I wasn't sure but copied that code exactly as typed by Mymsman and got nothing back, just back to the command prompt. I then tried the lsof -Fns on its own and got a very long report. Was I supposed to enter...

Cheers for that. I'll try and work out how to use a command window later. That's new for me in terms of the Humax.

I agree entirely but it would give me a baseline to restart from and show me how the disk performs with nothing on it.
