Can confirm that workaround (moving UUID to the desired drive) works just fine. Found an old 60GB ex-notebook drive for the intermediate step; now have a 2TB recording drive. Will probably have to sort out decryption at some point, but not pressured as I already have an EyeTV Sat to record...
right, i need a smaller drive. I have them; it's just that the 2TB one was the one most immediately available. I have a stack of internal 500GB drives which I can use via a sharkoon dock-thingy (but that'll be noisy), and a 500GB WD portable drive which is bus-powered and thus probably won't...
