My advice maybe out of date now, but I'd go for an internal HDD and a powered external caddy with USB. That way you're assured of a good supply of electrickery.

that explains why it worked, no I didn't reboot :( DOH! Any way an observation if I may. I think the wiki is excellent and well put together, there's an enormous wealth of information on there. But it could do with simplification and clarification in some places. Me, I'm a tech head and...

Looks like a bug in the web interface, once you remove the user it doesn't default back to the old non user name. I suggest someone else try it and keep a coy of the cfw upgrade handy. It's not an ip problem, the ip is set manually on the hummy and bookmarked on my iPad and desktop. Besides it...

Yep, just kept popping up with user/pass and wouldn't let me in.

Reinstalled the custom firmware and problem gone and all other settings are still in place.

I made a booboo, I deleted my account for the web access, I was constantly getting username and password requests on my iPad, and it was annoying to keep typing them in. So I deleted the access from the settings, now I cannot access the web server. Any idea how I can get it back please?

Hmmm thinking about reformatting the hdd, won't this delete the cfw and packages too? Or are they in a protected partition?

I noticed the HDD section was grayed out, but I am/was hoping all I need to do is format and re-aquire the HDD for recording?

I tell a lie, it's in HD mode after the last boot. Looks like a physical off/on drops HDR mode. But a soft boot keeps it in HDR (I think). More tinkering required. I see no reason to turn it off once its in HDR mode though.

During the night I left the box on, copying to the virtual drive, but something went wrong and it rebooted itself. got up this morning, turned it off/on changed ip settings, rebooted once again and everytime it stuck in HDR mode. The copy went fine too.

I guess we'll soon find out.

scratch that last, looking at CIFS. Will Cifs do what I need?

I tried to stream to the PlayStation 3 and iPad, both kind of worked, but struggled like hell. So playback on the PC is the only way for now. Next silly question: Is it possible to copy from the humax HDD to the PC hdd via a network share, and while it copies it removes the encryption? ie...

Right, vlc installed and working.
