  As @Black Hole said above, the recordings on the HDR-FOX are m2ts streams (not ts): try renaming to m2ts. Most of the standard def. recordings will have MPEG2 video and MP2 audio: remuxing these to .mpg files should work. Some standard def. and all high definition recordings will have H264 video...

2. Beta NTFS-3g
  
  I have been having some problems with ntfs-3g (2013.1.13-4) recently. I have two HDR-FOX units which are left with NTFS-formatted drives attached (MBR). With the above version of ntfs-3g, I keep finding that the drives are unmounted. When I rescan the drives (Webif eject button) they fail to...

3. [ntfs-3g] - HD-FOX: ntfs-3g (virtual-disk2) bug.
  
  I have been having different problems with the latest version of ntfs-3g (2013.1.13-4) on the HDR-FOX (I'll post in another thread on this) so I think it needs some changes anyway. It might be better to put this version back in the beta-repository and revert to version 2013.1.13-2 if there is no...

  The only way to for AR and padding to both work successfully on one box at the same time is to set the box itself to AR with the remote control by having no padding at either the start or end. Then with multimode, move any channels you want padded to the padding list through webif. If you have...

  Based on the the link in your post, would the region setting be best set to '1'? This is for channels 1-13 and presumably actively scans those channels.

13. Intermittent wifi connection failure - solved
  
  UK and European WiFi standards exclude channel 14, using 1-13 only. Dongles designed for the European market may not be able to access channel 14. Some of the 'eBay' RT2870 chipset dongles may be able to use channel 14 so is there a risk that the HDR-FOX may broadcast briefly on channel 14 when...

  Was the package definitely removed before you reinstalled it? To make sure, I would open a Telnet session and manually uninstall virtual-disk2 as follows: opkg remove virtual-disk2 --force-depends You should get a confirmation that it has been removed. I would then reboot and reinstall the package.

  My mistake. The latest version of virtual-disk2 is 2.02 whether or not you have the beta package repository installed. It only looks like a beta package if you have the beta version of NTFS-3g installed (it is a dependency of NTFS-3g).
