If I understand correctly, when my Humax fails, and I buy a new one, I cannot transfer my HD recordings to the new Humax (by copy, or even by disk swapping) because the decryption of the HD programmes is tied to the Humax on which the recording was made.
When I bought Humax_1, I undoubtedly paid a licence fee for the encryption/decryption technique, and my Humax_1 was given a unique key with which to encrypt and decrypt.
When I buy Humax_2, I no doubt get a new, different key for it.
Why can't I tell Humax_2 to decrypt with either Key_1 or Key_2, both of which I have paid for?
Or why can't I unplug a "mini Key-chip" from Humax_1, and plug it into a chip holder in Humax_2, put there for this specific purpose?
As it is, if Humax_1 breaks, all HD recordings are unplayable, and therefore lost, even though the recordings on the disk are perfect.
