I've just upgraded from an aging foxsat box that I was pleased with to an Hdr-1100s 1tb due mainly to loss of BBC iplayer in September. Foxsat box has some classic tv in memory that I would like to keep. Anybody know if this can be transferred to new box or an external computer hard drive before I dump the box? I'm a bit of a technophobe so please keep replies "simple to understand". Thanks

Hi welcome to our forum. You can copy SD recordings to a usb drive and play them back on a 1100S from the usb device or upload them to the 1100s internal drive. You only need the .ts (transport stream) files. You can copy HD to usb but due to encryption you can only play them back on the Foxsat that recorded them. THe USB drive will need to be formatted FAT32 (Max file size 4GB) or EXT3 for larger files. If SD they will be less than 4GB unless it's a very long programme.

Thanks for your response. I did say I was a bit of a technophobe! How do I do this to a usb? You've already lost me. I don't believe I have anything saved that is HD..... it took up to much memory on the foxsat.

I don't believe I have anything saved that is HD..... it took up to much memory on the foxsat.It's been a while. I will format a usb stick fat32 tomorrow and go through the steps to copy a single file and a complete folder from a Foxsat-hdr. To format a usb stick in windows, right click on it and choose format. Select FAT32 as the file system.

Basic Procedure
Connect a USB device (Front USB port under front flap)

You Have two panes, left hand one is the Foxsat, right hand one is the USB device.
At the moment the USB device isn't opened for access, press right to highlight sda1(1) and press OK. File symbol with two dots is the root folder of the usb device. If you have created folders on a PC you can move to them and open them. By default you are going to copy to the root folder.
