Have successfully transferred files onto Humax for many years using AV2HDR but would like to achieve the reverse. I managed it once some years ago but cannot remember how.
Have tried copying via network but the resulting .ts file would only play the first minute of an hour video, despite a large file size.

Connect a usb storage device to the front port. A on screen message should confirm usb device connected.
Press Media - Opt+ OK on File Manager
You should have two panes Foxsat-hdr on left, USB device on right. Press right to highlight SDA icon and OK to open it.
Go left and highlight a file, the green copy button should be active.
Hint if you want to copy multiple files press yellow to enter edit mode and set a tick on the files you want to copy.
Only SD files will play on other kit, HD is encrypted so it will only play on the Foxsat that recorded the content.
Supported file systems FAT32 (Max file size 4GB) or Linux EXT2 (flash memory) or EXT3 (real hard disks). To read the latter on a PC you need a Linux driver (EXT2FS).

You can transfer by USB but it's really, really slow. Especially for hour long HD programs like Top Gear where the files are >4GB.
Personally I've never had any problems using vsftpd via Raydon's software. Using programs like XBMC (well it's called Kodi now but I still have machines running the old version) and VLC the TS files play fine, even the subtitles work when available. Average copy speed I get using a router with gigabit ports (although the Foxsat-HDR only has 10/100Mbps ones) is around 3.5MB/s which is about twenty minutes for a 5GB file if memory serves.

I may not understand what your trying to do with your humax files
but as i see it you want to play them on your pc.Two ways i do it
is by using xbmc as the previous post suggested via wi fi or by
powerline connecter.The second one is by using samsung allshare or
samsung link to download the files to your computer.
Standard def only, both programmes decrypt files A 1gb file takes about
3 to 4 minutes using powerline connecter much slower with wi fi.
By the way i am downloading from a hdr2000,| Sun 1 Feb 2015 16:21:14 #4 | -

By the way i am downloading from a hdr2000,Unless you add the custom firmware and one of the DLNA server packages there is no media server on a Foxsat-hdr. Without the CF only way to download recordings is via usb.
Unlike your HDR2000T SD recordings made on a Foxsat-hdr aren't encrypted so there's no decryption overhead when copying to usb.

Thanks graham i understand, foolish of me not to grasp the difference
between the two models.I knew it was different model but thought it
had a DLNA server.would that be the best option for him to use the
custom firmware?.I am still learning as i read the forum most days,
left it a bit late though i am in my mid seventies.| Sun 1 Feb 2015 18:07:43 #6 | -

Only the Freeview+ HD pvrs have DLNA capability built in (starting with the HDR FOX T2, the server client on the HDR FOX T2 lets you view HD as well as SD remotely (there is also custom firmware for this model).
