usb hard drive on 1100s

Hello,
I copied some sd (standard definition) programs from my Humax HDR-foxsat to a usb drive formatted as linux ext3 and plugged it into my HDR-1100s but it doesnt recognise the drive. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Should I be able to watch sd programs from an external drive on the 1100s just like I can on my foxsat? I read somewhere that the foxsat doesnt encrypt the sd files so they should be fine, the (.ts files) play ok with VLC on Windows, but anyway I cannot see anywhere to access the usb drive on the HDR-1100s. If I go into setting and HD it only shows the internal drive.

Thanks

Or if I connect both boxes to my router is there a way of viewing the programs stored on my HDRfoxsat using my HDR1000s?

I am no expert on the Freesat boxes but my recollection is that the only use for the USB port is software updates.

Thanks. It's unusual though that my 15 year old foxsat box has more features than the newer 1100s box..
