Auto decrypt is installed. I checked the hummy HDD and content recorded before and after the package install are still encrypted and not playable from the HDD on a PC using VLC (no PAT, streams etc). Only the content 'moved' on to the virtual drive by the box itself is in the clear. If you are...

Yes you are right. The function icons are the same as those appearing when an external usb flash is plugged in, but with virtual drive2 installed isn't the box just saying the virtual folder created on the HDD is the same as plugging in a USB stick? The decrypt option is as I want it - to...

I have been using it a couple of weeks now to 'solve a problem' . I have 400Gb of content on the Freeview box which has not been played yet. I want to watch some of the recordings in my holiday flat and don't want to keep dragging a second Hummy box too and fro in hand luggage. I discovered...

Thanks, I am away a few days and will come back on my post, but I have some interim findings to help others.: It would appear that my two identical 4Gb USB2 flash stick can be read in my new Freeview T2 but one is unreadable (says it is wrong format!) in the Freesat box. Now I thought all...

Thanks, I'm beginning to think the 'A' grade box has a problem. Yes I understand about the network server as I just went through the custom route on my Freview box. But this Freesat box does not even offer up an IP address, just the DHCP option or manual entry and as I said, my router does not...

hi all, I have a pretty new Foxsat with a couple of issues I hope somebody can shed light on: I discovered it would only accept a flash update on a USB stick less than 1Gb. I thought that was strange but I had a spare small memory stick and they do mention it in the manual. Then I tried to...

That is true and it is just something to know about. I would not have re partitioned a drive full of content but would have tried out a clean drive after a EXT3 reformat in the box. I suspect the patch creates the virtual drive folder only in the working partition and it cannot be told to go...

Thanks, as long as it is not me. I wondered if the oem firmware issuing the onscreen message still treated the virtual-USB patch as if it was an external USB stick. In which case it would take the whole capacity and count down as it filled. Maybe if virtual-drive could be created on a separate...

I now have virtual -USB running on a 1Tb hdd holding 400Mb in the Humax default folders. When I mark files for copy and they transfer unencrypted to Virtual-USB, Virtual-USB reports the full drive capacity (1Tb) available at the start of transfer/copy, then incorrectly reports 1Tb minus copied...

As an Engineer I certainly do understand and appreciate the work put in by others willing share. The problem for most is working through the jungle of techno speak and threads to get the answer and method they understand that works. It has always been the same with PC tasks and sometimes the...

Thanks, I apologise if I have upset anybody, but I was late arriving here and had collected a lot of information from other sources along the way which is not uncommon for new joiners. Some 'instructions' may have been historic, although I was careful to match my oem flash download to the...

Ah, but my workflow is to first get the box to copy files on to the virtual_drive folder which is much faster than using the USB port (but still not 80Mb/s!). That can be done in the background whilst the box is sitting there overnight. Then I could pull off the decrypted files from the virtual...

Thanks, the packages have gone in via Telnet including auto-unprotect. I also got the page up in my browser and a lot of files whistled through. I know the Virtual drive addon is working well. I had tried everything else finding out how slow USB transfer is even to an external HDD. I left it...

Hi, sorry about this first post. I waded through the wiki, package Telnet install overcoming getting the comms working but I got stuck on the hmt install and my Linux knowledge is pretty poor. Stuck at the info line : cd <directory containing video files> and presumably that means the whole...
