    Can anyone confirm whether the ftp or samba option is reliable on this unit. Also that when SD content is copied it isn't decrypted so how can you view it on a pc? Sorry bit confused.

    Earlier in the thread I saw someone talking about a custom firmware for this unit, does one exist already?

    I'm asking on behalf of my father who is looking to replace his foxsat hdr (with raydon firmware). Has just bought the 1100S and quite promptly returned it for refund as there was no way to archive files of it. Have been advised to look at the Panasonic DMR-HWT150EB but can't find any file transfer options on that either.

    If the FVP-4000T isn't that reliable for transfering files via network does anyone know a unit that will?

    Hope you can help.

    No and it will not be trivial to do.

    Do you happen to know if SD files copied from it via ftp/samba to computer are encrypted and won't play on the computer? Or is this just for HD.

    Welcome to our Forum

    SD remain encrypted I'm afraid.

    So not playable through vlc on computer? If not that's a shame, looks like going keep the foxsat going...

    Do you know of any other recorders that will allow transfer of radio/video via network without encryption?

    Although just read SD files transferred via SMB/Samba through network are unencrypted? Am getting a little confused here

    Is there anyway to transfer recording from this unit to PC without it being encrypted?

    If using USB can you copy more than one file at a time?

    Think I may have to look on ebay for an old foxsat hdr at this rate.

    Only tried this on win 8.1 PC

    You can transfer SD recordings to PC if the network server option on the FVP 4000T is on.

    FVP will appear in my computer/network locations see FAQ

    Simple a matter of dragging and dropping to PC.

    You can copy multiple recordings via usb see this FAQ

    What you are trying to achieve is being made harder and harder I'm afraid. Whilst you can copy files to a USB drive both on the Humax and the Panasonic they will be tied to the device they are copied from.

    This effectively means when the device dies the archiving dies with it. The foxsat and similar are now ageing hardware so sooner or later the other side wins. I have managed to copy files from my HDR 2000T in SD and play them on a computer.

    See the final post on this thread:

    https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/drive-not-visible-on-pc

    for what is possible and not possible with the FVP-4000T with the 1.00.59 firmware.

    With the 1.00.63 firmware some bugs might be removed but the basic design ensures that HD recordings are always encrypted whereas SD recordings are decrypted if copied over USB or Samba but not FTP.
