Thanks ML & Barry.
The SD recordings should be playable from the USB drive although you may need to delete or move the sidecar files elsewhere as the format differs between the two boxes i.e. just keep the .ts file. Need an FVP_4000T to answer about copying recordings onto the hard drive.
What sort of kit do I need to achieve that? Can I use my Windows PC?
I have a duplicate of the 2TB archive drive; can I use it to make a backup of the archive 2TB drive so that I'm safe if I make a hash of things?
I can't go via the HDR-FOX-T2 as its drive is too small for the archive drive content.
I think you can access the usb drive as well using the HDR-FOX-T2 DNLA server. If I remember you can select USB drives as the source (even more than one if connected to two ports or via a powered USB hub).
You can test this out on a PC using DLNA client software.
