I have a 9200T and wanting to perform a HDD format and default reset. This is due to it occasionally 'locking up' and the other faults people have seen so hopefully it will fix the issues. It's also been 5+ years since I bought it so probably about time.
So, I am currently backing up the stored TV recordings. Basically it's lots of programs and movies which helps to keep the kids entertained (as I don't have any smart TV etc keeping the recordings is the simplest way). I managed to find the details for installing windows 7 transfer software so everything is good there.
It is currently transferring files to my PC storage and this is where my questions come in.
It is currently transferring at 1400KB/s. Is this the fastest it can go over USB?? I think it took over half an hour just to transfer 1.7Gb (one program).
Next, once I have got all the files off (which may be in several days) can I put them all back on once formatted?
I would just like to give my Humax box one more chance at working fully again as I just find it so easy to use and don't know what would be a suitable replacement anyway.
