I have taken out the HDD from my YouView box which has died. I plugged it into a Linux PC with a USB adaptor, it recognised the disk but asked for a pass phrase before it could open any files.
Does anyone know what this pass phrase is?
I only want the SD content, I realise that the HD is encrypted and I won't be able to play it on another device.

Guessing the pass phrase is unique to each box.
I feared this might be so!
I noticed that the 500GB disk is split into anumber of volumes, most are labelled as encrypted but two are not, size 4.1GB and 41GB respectively. It seems I can look inside these without the pass phrase, but the other bigger volumes need the pass phrase.
Inside the 41GB volume there is only one file of any size, named 0.ts which is 3.1GB. Is this a transport stream of some kind? Is this my SD content, if so how can I de-encapsulate it from this file?

That sounds like the recording buffer used for time shifting etc. If the file isn't encrypted then something like vlc should play it.
Thanks Martin
VLC says it is 1hr 11 mins long but does not play it.
My SD content is much more than that, any idea where on the disk I might find it?
