    Sorry Martin, in this instance I think you're mistaken.

    Apologies I remembered wrongly. I still think there will be problems as the file system on the 9150/9300 does have subtle changes from the 9200 and humaxrw needed to be modified to work on them and I don't see any mention of the work being done in the release notes for hdc.

    Thank you for all this info.

    Today, the timed recordings are actually recording!! Don't know how long that will last.

    My machine is the 9300T and it doesn't have a USB socket.

    I have had a reply from Humax:- "Unfortunately the PVR-9300T models do not have the ability to retreive recorded programs from them and the hard-drives on which these are stored are using a EXT-3 file structure, which would most likely require specific software to read a Linux partition."

    I am taking some recordings off using Elgato Video Capture

    It is shocking that Humax should send you a response that is so technically incorrect. The file system has nothing to do with Linux; it is proprietary and specific to a small number of Humax designs,

    You would have to open the unit and attach the drive to USB via an adapter or remove the drive and attach to a spare SATA or eSATA port

    Someone at Humax should definitely get their knuckles rapped for that howler.
