I'm a newbie and not much of a technie and would appreciate some [clear!] guidance on connecting my Humax box to my PC.
I have been successful in copying recordings to my PC via the USB port, using a 8Gb flash drive and now left with a number of recordings >4GB.
I've tried to follow the discussions about the Customised Software and this is where I've get lost! The software on my Humax is 1.00.21, updated 27 July 2012 and is the latest version. The forum discussions refer to versions 1.02.xx and then I'd realise that this related to the Freeview box, which I now presume is the T2 version of the Humax. Am I right?
I've connected the Humax to my network and the Menu-Settings bit shows the network address, etc but of course my PC network map doesn't show the Humax, 'cos I'd need to download and install the Custom software.
What I need to know is:
1. So I still need to upgrade the Humax software to a later version than 1.00.21?
2. What version of the Customised software do I need to download?
3. Presumably, all I need to do is to copy this download onto the USB flashdrive, which has successfully been accepted by the Humax, insert the USB drive and then power up the Humax from the switch at the back.
4. I then presume that my PC will 'see' the Humax on the network and then I can transfer files from the Humax to my PC and I can then edit, reformat, etc. the recordings in much the same way that I have form the >4GB files. (I edit out the adverts and play back using XBMC)
Or is this too simple!
Hope somebody can put me on the right track!
Philip
