    Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but I couldn't find any advice on this otherwise excellent forum.

    My PVR-9300T is getting rather long in the tooth, and I wondered if there is a way of transferring the old data. There is no USB socket of course, and the PVR isn't showing anywhere when I connect to a laptop via HDMI or RCA.

    Transfer to DVDRs works fine, but it's a tedious process.

    The quickest way would be to open the 9300T and connect the hard drive to a PC and use humaxrw to transfer the recordings to the PC. If the new PVR happens to be a Humax HDR-FOX T2 then the custom firmware allows humaxrw to be run on the HDR. It is simply a matter of using a caddy or SATA to USB connector to connect the old drive direct to the Humax and then files can be copied en-bloc or one by one when required.

    Many thanks Martin. I will give that some thought.

    One other idea struck me; could I simply run two PVRs side by side, using a Y splitter for the coax input ? I could then run the 9300-T until it drops, copying programmes to DVDRs at leisure.

    Yes that should work.
