i understand the 4gb limit , but does it mean that files smaller than that take up 4gb on the disk. if not i plan to get a fat32 500gb drive ie sonnics, verbatim or similar . this to store and play more programs. also need to transfer the files to windows pc. thanks

thanks for all replies. i have now copied from foxt2 to a 16gb usb pen fat32 - went ok but painfully slow - 3 hrs for 16gb. it also brought over .hmt .nts .thm files which i dont remember getting with the 9200t and e-linker. would it be any faster using ext3 on a hdd ? i have tried using foxt2...

i'm trying to copy from hdr foxt2 to my seagate expansion drive 500gb -- get message cant copy to ntfs file type. i can copy to a usb pen stick ok - thats fat32 format - but limited file size. the objective is to get files across to my laptop and pc - i dont need HD and dont want custom...

i find noise is not an issue withe the fox t2. have just consigned my 9200t to shelf storage having downloaded - very slowly - the programs i want to save. so far the foxt2 has given no trouble at all - the 9200t often got sluggish or locked up. another big gain is its possible to load ts files...

yes - upper folder appears to have no point or neccessary function except to confuse tidy minded who need to understand it all. (intuition is great if you've got it!) will move on to the joys of moving data between humax and pc via usb sticks. hoping i can get .ts files off my 9200t and onto...

i was puzzled by the media video list of recorded programs - seems to be in random sequence rather than date/time on the 9200t. then there is this "upper folder" of which i can find no reference in the manual- so dont know its purpose. i have created some new folders and can presumeably sort int...

replacement box came next day - usual amazon service. this one works !! mixed feelings so far - some good - some puzzles - instruction manual is poor - eg what is a folder? will raise issues later. many thanks all helpers.

thanks to all who have helped on this. amazon have just despatched my replacement first class delivery. i will say that i bought humax again because this forum existed. otherwise i may have gone elsewhere as i have found the service from the humax team to be poor. they are still putting out...

thanks maybe a duff batch - but how do they get past testing?

martin yes , amazon have been in touch re replacement - they are usually very good at this - but i think the xmas rush may put a spanner in the works. as an ex techie/radio ham i would have been happy to have a look - but its not a good idea nowadays - and dont want to fall foul of amazons...

ive put it in for amazon return and replace. many thanks

thanks martin - i'm sure its dead but quite unusual - i've bought loads of stuff over the years and this is the first complete dud. will return to amazon .

new box recently arrived. connect up - switch on at wall and back - just dead. would expect at least a light and/or fan/drive noise - but nothing. fuse is ok. wall plug is ok . i think its faulty but before sending it back - am i missing something? does the wizard have to be run before...

cant remember where i saw "renderer" being used - somewhere on this site though. i have ordered a hdr fox t2 today from amazon. many thanks for a good job.

as an out of date ex-techie - i dont know the meanings of -- CLIENT SERVER RENDERER these terms are used a lot and are new to me. could they go on wiki or somewhere? many thanks.
