1. Streaming recordings to PC ?
  
  Almost works for me. I can see all the files on Windows Media Server, but when I play I get only the sound but no video (just a small static thumbnail picture). But on VLC it works just fine.

  Forget putty, but you do need to start a shell to run these commands. I've forgotten now how to start that up (I had to eventually replace the T2 with a 5000, so no more fun playing that way), but I am sure almost anyone on this forum can help you with that.

  I tried using webif, but maybe not the right way. I can see [ÙSB Storage] and can supposedly copy to there, but that doesnt seem to be the FAT part of the usb, i.e. not visible to Windows thereafter. Aha - using Download to the PC

  We only have one tv in the house which is in constant use by you know who. There appear to be some operations, like copy to usb, which can only be done using the remote. Is there any way to see what would be showing on the TV?
