I have been using my HDR 1000S for some months with no problems and have greatly enjoyed the ease of use, good pictures, etc. But I thought maybe I should back up those recordings I want to keep onto an external hard drive. Can I do this and how?

No export of recordings facility at launch of this box. I don't think the beta update had either.

Correct, there is currently no means of backing up anything. Result is I have twice had to format HDD and lost lots of great recording I had not watched.

Pity. I had hoped that somebody would have found a way through either the TV or a LAN.

Given that these boxes constantly start to miss recordings when you hit the 50+ % mark, you would thing that Humax would allow some sort of backup feature

Have been running 1TB at over 90% for a number of weeks checking out auto delete, which is also performing as it should.

A while back the forum was full of people with the 500GB boxes stating that they had problems at say 52% and had to reformat. I had the same issue and it has started again when I've hit 50 odd %. Humax say to reformat the HD and yet again I've got to lose recordings that I actually want to keep. We should have a way of moving these off to an external HD or memory stick. Now I can understand that they may have to stick to some laws about allowing the transfer of HD material in it's digital form if it were to be watchable on other devices because of encryption etc. but I would be quite happy if they only allowed this particular type of recording to be backed up and then returned to the original machine. Failing that they should at least allow the digital transfer of the SD stuff.
