Hi!
Our foxsat HDR 1tb is now just over 2 years old. It worked beautifully til last month. To summarise: it now locks up: the channel will keep going but it cannot be changed, and the only way to get the box working again is switch it on & off again at the mains switch on the back (neither remote, standby button work).
I emailed Humax & was very helpfully told to reformat the hard drive & lose all my recordings. That was it.
I asked if I could back up the programmes & was told yes, that would be possible.
.... Helpful eh?!
Now: I've never connected it to a PC or laptop. I am of limited technical knowledge but have ordered a Kingston 64gb flashdrive to store them. (I have a 30% disk full, so am hoping that will be enough). If its not, what sort of size as I'm looking for? 500gb? Would that be better as an external drive rather than a flash drive?
Once I get the drive, what next?
I'm sorry I'm so vague but have no idea how to go about this. I'd gladly lose all the recordings but my daughter would be seriously unhappy to lose all her Charlie & Lola's!
(Or, alternatively, if anyone offers this as a service - backing up & then sorting out the disk) do let me know!
