Humax Foxsat HDR

[whiskeryron]

I have a Humax Freesat digibox (Foxsat R_Foxsat-HDR/GB 6005167 61600516700583) & I wish to transfer a prog recorded on the hard drive out through the USB terminal to an external (USB linked) hard drive, my problem is that I get an on screen message stating that I can only transfer 4 gbs at a time.

The prog I want to transfer is a 2 hour movie & the ext H/D holds 230gbs.Is there a way I can overcome this prob? I have looked at the possibility of splitting the film into sections but can't see a way to do this. Ron.

apparently you can't transfer to a external hard drive from a humax box unless its converted from ntfs system
to fat32 google this you'll get a lot of help on there its easy to do
eg try this one

thanx deggs,before I convert ext h/d I need to backup all how do I go about this ( not sure) & after conv will ext h/d still work on comp as it does now ? Ron.

[deggers316]

cant you back up up your ext h/d on to a hard drive in your comp? just plug it into a usb socket and send to whatever hard drive you got space on
as far as i know the ext h/d will work with fat32 on your comp
