Thanks hjug.

Owen thanks for speaking up. You were one of those who helped, and I appreciated.

A thumbs up from Brian (Administrator) to prpr's unnecessary invective convinces me I won't be continuing on this forum. Thanks to those who were patient and offered help.

Five letters. The 1st one is M the last one is N.

prpr. Your infantile replies are not worth the candle, or this minimal response.

Thanks for that info hjug. Yesterday, a search on AI said that Humax did not introduce encryption until 2014, so my 2011 Humax Fox HDR T2 didn't need to be decrypted, including any HD files. AI can get things wrong, so I don't yet know if that is the case; I haven't had time to try it. It may...

Thanks for taking the time to provide the links. For someone not from a computing background and who hasn't used Linux etc it still doesn't look 'straightforward'. It looks like it is going to take me some time to pull all the bits together, digest, then tinker around with it. You are correct...

Black Hole. You said: "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 desktops are sufficiently Windows-like to cause no trouble, and the...

You are absolutely right Owen. Yes that's a good tip EEPhil. It seems that in the not-too-distant future 'they' are moving us to online transmission only, possibly with no recordings, as that opens up a source of revenue. Archiving recordings from the 2000 may therefore be handy for future...

Many thanks Owen, but I have spent too many wasted hours on it already. Our 2000 seems to be a good replacement. As I said it was new and unused. If it was to fail I think I would move away from Humax despite the 14 years service I have had. My wife has come to terms with the loss of her...

It didn't work. I left the 64gb Toshiba USB drive flickering for 8 hours! I then tried another 64 gb USB drive with no success. All the recordings were SD. Sorry folks I'm giving up. I am happy to end this thread. Thanks to everyone.

I 'may' have succeeded in copying the files, using the Humax native opt+ command. I couldn't access or see the files via 'Video' as the screen just went blank every time I clicked on Video. However, I could see the files via 'Music'. I currently have the Humax hard drive via USB caddy in the...

I am willing to try the stripts method on my Chromebook if given a straightforward step-by-step guide.

Not networked.

Yes I can see the files but can't play them. I am currently trying to see if I can copy them to a 64gb usb pen drive via the 2nd usb port. So far I have been unsuccessful.
