Sharing External Hard Drive Between 2 HD-FOX T2 Boxes

[Bob Casson]

Hi

I've owned a HD-FOX T2 box for a couple of years now and have recorded nearly a TB of films and TV shows to an external hard drive. I've just purchased another HD-FOX T2 box thinking I could simply plug in my existing hard hrive and view all the recordings made on the other box. When I pug the hard drive into my second box, it recognises the drive and I am able to see everything I've recorded under the 'Media' area however when I attempt to play any of the films recorded I get a message about it being 'scrambled'?

Does anyone know if it is possible to share the recordings made on one HD-FOX T2 box with another, or what this scrambled message means (is the data encrypted) and how to get round it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob

The box encrypts recordings with a key unique to the box so can normally only be used with the box that recorded it. It is possible to decrypt the recordings using custom firmware.
