My 9 year old Foxsat-HDR decided to stop receiving any signals, so it has been replaced.
I removed the HDD before scrapping the unit and would like to recover the recorded films to my PC,then USB stick to play on the TV, but I can't seem to copy .TS files in W10 Pro. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hard drive is formatted Linux EXT 3. Easiest way is boot your PC into linux using a usb linux Distro

You will find the recordings in SDA 3.

If you are more comfortable with a GUI like windows.

Don't bother with HD recordings as unless you have used the Custom Firmware they are encrypted and only the Foxsat that recorded them can play them back.
