    Hi All

    This is my first post here, so I hope it's in the right place.

    I have just bought the HDR1100s, putting my original FOXSAT HDR into semi retirement. I am getting used to the new recorder, but have hit my first problem, which I need help with.
    Connection to WiFi is fine, and everything works O.K. on catch up. On my fibre router, there is a USB port which (in the instructions) says can be used for streming media via a connected drive. When I connect a drive to this, the Humax can see the drive and I can access the files on it. However, when I play the contents of the files, they only play for about ten minutes, then it stops, and I cannot do anything but restart from the beginning, at which point it stops again in the exact same place. Is there something I am doing wrong? If I connect the drive to my Mac, I can play the video files all the way through, but via the Humax, I cannot.

    Can anyone please help.

    Welcome to our Forum

    What happens if you connect the HDD directly to usb port on Humax unit?

    Hi Barry

    Thank you for the welcome.

    To be honest, when I plugged the drive into the back of the Humax, I could not see the drive anywhere, so I could not try it that way. I will have another go.
