    Copied my HDR FoxT2 hard drive to and external drive because my PVR was being changed under warranty. Now I can't play any programs that were in HD format either from the external drive or the new PVR onto which I have copied my archive back. Message is "either the program is not available or it is scrambled". Can any of you wiz kids offer any help? The external drive was formatted using the Humax before copying.

    The HD recordings are encrypted, and will only play back on the box that they were recorded on.

    Too late now to do anything about this. Freeview+ and Freesat+ boxes encrypt HD recordings with a key unique to the box that recorded it. As a result only the box that recorded it can play these back.
