Did you not see my post #25 above? I’ve got it working, first on fat32 and now NTFS. Everything’s being moved to my new WD HDD.

Sorry I missed it. Glad it worked in the end. From your description it sounds to me as though the hard drive was partitioned with a GPT scheme (which the Humax won't recognise) and WD helped you to format it with an MBR scheme. Glad you got it working in the end and that you have demonstrated that the WD drive is hardware compatible with the Humax. Do you have an impression of how long it took to copy recordings to the drive with an NTFs format?

What/who is Stormzy? Some sort of weather documentary?

Seems to be quicker. A 10 min 1080i programme took 5 mins. an hour long 1080p took less than 45 mins.
