How to transfer files from defunct HDR FOX T2 to view on HDR 2000T?

I 'may' have succeeded in copying the files, using the Humax native opt+ command.

It will be very slow, the decryption on the HDR Fox T2 is slow and the USB ports are even slower.

I couldn't access or see the files via 'Video' as the screen just went blank every time I clicked on Video.

That's because it's trying to access the internal hard disc, which is not present. You may be able to press Blue on the remote to change which media it is looking for, select USB.

Presumably Humax thought that 'Music' might be people playing files from USB sticks.

I currently have the Humax hard drive via USB caddy in the 1st USB port and a 64gb usb drive flickering away in the 2nd USB port, which 'seems' to be copying a large file I marked for copying. It is taking time.
I will report back.

The question is whether the file has been decrypted or not. If it is an HD recording it probably won't be, if SD hopefully it will.

What format is the 64GB drive in? If FAT32 then any file above 4GB in length won't fit, I can't remember whether the HDR Fox T2 just truncates it or gives an error. SD recordings of an hour or less in length will fit in 4GB. I can't remember where HD files land size wise but I have a vague memory an hour is around 4GB though it may be less these days as the broadcasters reduce bit rates.

This should work, on a working system, if the caddy is not expecting to power the HDD from the USB port (which can only provide sufficient power for a 5V-only "portable" HDD). But with a dodgy system there are too many unknowns.

Agreed. The important question is does the caddy provide 12V power for the 3.5" hard drive. There have been problems in the past where people trying to use a caddy didn't understand the need for a 12V supply.
