Yes - it works

Chris, it's much more complicated than it need be, but not difficult when you know how. You can copy files from your Humax FVP-4000T to an external USB drive (or memory stick), but they don't show up from the FVP-4000T recordings tab as you've discovered .... however if you then connect your...

If you have recorded several episodes of a series when viewing the recordings "page" you should see the title of the series followed by a number in brackets - showing the number of episodes recorded. You can open this as a "folder" and select the first instalment by scrolling across to the...

Open the folder containing the individual files, then rather than press "Play this episode" use left arrow button to move into file list and then up arrow to select the top file and press OK. I know ... it's crazy, but easier than trying to rename all your recordings. It was far simpler with...

This may be confusing for OP as the FVP-4000T doesn't have the OPT+ button that was present on earlier Hummys!

If you have several recordings of a TV series you can select the folder and batch move, if the recordings are of different series they need to be selected individually - hope this helps

Just to clarify - its the speed of moving files to / from the Internal HDD to the USB HDD that is inordinately slow (subjectively this seems even slower than when using the HDR-FOX). If you have files on the external USB drive (whether copied from the internal HDD or another Hummy), these...

That's what one might have expected BH, but your "imagining" is incorrect! In fact the 4000T has quite different software from the HDR-FOX - I was very disappointed on "upgrading" to find that the straightforward interface of the HDR-FOX has been jettisoned for a far less intuitive set of commands

Hi Jeddy, Just to kick off ... I also have the 500GB 4000T, and can confirm that HD recordings soon eat into the HDD space available. I have an external USB drive connected (for some of the issues I've experienced with these see my other postings). All recordings are made to the internal HDD...

Thanks for posting this small encouragement ... I won't be holding my breath!

Once the schedule is set and registered in the Hummy it is no longer possible to remove it remotely. However, if you go into "Schedule" on your box and delete it from there you will find that it has also disappeared from the remote scheduling.

Yes - as you've discovered, leaving an external USB connected HDD results in stored recordings on internal HDD disappearing - occurs when Humax reboots

Another reason why I will still be keeping my HDR Fox's running for as long as they last - though I'm appreciating the FVP-4000 ability to record three different programs

The recent "fix" certainly hasn't resolved my issue of the vanishing recordings on the internal HDD - as I posted above, the only way I've found around this is to leave my external USB drive disconnected (as the machine re-boots at least daily) and then plug the USB drive in when I want to play...

Hi Grant, I hadn't tried to delete any scheduled recordings until I read your post - but you are right ... I'm not using the IOS app, but find that logging onto the myHumax.net webpage from my PC is just the same as your experience. Haven't seen any phantom settings as yet!
