Hi all,
If I use Raydon's great software to pull the HD recordings off the Humax and store them on a USB exterior hard drive.
Can I then play them back via the USB socket on the Humax?
If the answer to the above is yes, how to I find them using the Humax menu system?

Will any USB hard drive that is USB 2 compatible be ok?

Will any USB hard drive that is USB 2 compatible be ok?Yes but it must be formatted FAT32 (files up to max of 4GB) or EXT3 for any filesize. The Foxsat does not support NTFS.
Thanks.
I was looking at a 3TB Toshiba USB 3/USB 2 STOR.E CANVIO external hard drive while you posted that.
Would I be able to format that to ext3?
I see on this forum there is information how to format hard disks but does that mean I can do the ext3 conversion on say the 3TB Toshiba USB 3/USB 2 STOR.E CANVIO?

Could be a problem, I have only used usb drives up to 1TB with the Foxsat. Hopefully someone else will have tried a larger hdd.

I would worry about a 3TB drive. As far as I know 3TB drives can't use a conventional partition table and I doubt that the Linux kernel in the FOXSAT will understand the new GPT partition style. I would stick to a 2TB drive.
Give me a few minutes and I can format a 2TB HDD as ext 3 and try, unfortunately my 3TB is tied up in a long term test on another product.
A 2TB HDD appears to work ok - caveat formatted using a HD T2 as having some issues with easeus programme.
