2. Is hummy.tv feeling unwell
  
  Two forums I use have instigated anti-bot measures because the servers are being hammered and causing delays in the user experience. I wonder whether the same is the cause here. "Measures" are a CloudFlare thing where you have to present as human before being allowed access.

  This is a typical example of somebody wanting all the i's dotted and t's crossed for them before they get out of bed. It's not hard, it doesn't even require much experimentation... just do it! If it plays off an external drive it will play when copied into the internal drive. You can copy it...

  It's not your browser trying to download the packages by http, the browser is presenting a control panel running on the HDR-FOX and the software is running on the HDR-FOX. If anything's getting in the way of the http it will be the firewall restrictions on your modem-router, but I doubt that's it.

  I can't see as that would achieve anything at all. Formatting is formatting. I would only worry if the formatting process seemed to take too little time.

  Yeah, but this is not a drive optimised for video recording. It will be spinning faster than necessary (therefore consuming more power), and may be parking heads periodically (not wanted in long continuous data transfers). Video drives spin relatively slowly but continuously (no spin-downs...
