But, anyway, the old Foxsat-HDR provided enough power through its USB ports to drive the hard discs – I don’t have a problem with that system.
But the issues connected with transferring recordings DO DIFFER depending on the model they are coming from. Are these HD or SD recordings?

On the ‘old’ PVR-9150T it was possible to plug in the drives and call up a page which listed the contents of both the PVR internal drive and the external drive, side by side. It was then possible to transfer files from the PVT to the USB hard disc – and vice-versa. Transfer was much faster than playing the file but still quite slow. Moving 500Gb was a 2 day job.
I am sorry but that doesn’t sound like a PVR-9150T. Could it have been an HDR-FOX T2 or an HDR-2000T?

Files were transferred using the PVR-9150T filing system and the PVR USB port to a ‘portable’ hard disc formatted FAT 32.
Interesting. First time that anybody has suggested that the 9150 USB port does anything useful. What do you mean by “using the PVR-9150T file system”? Can the files be seen if the portable drive is plugged into a PC? Perhaps an HDR-1100S user can comment on whether FAT32 should work.

Because of space limitations I transferred valued recordings from my old PVR-9150T to a hard disc. I have upgraded to a new HDR-1100s and would like to watch/access these old recordings. The HDR-1100S does not seem to ‘see’ the old hard disc.
How did you transfer the recordings and what file system is the hard disk using (FAT 32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXFAT…)?

if i try to use command line options i get humaxrw command not recognized
Use the command line. My guess would be you have placed the executable in a directory that is not in the path. Try giving the full path to the executable or using cd to change to the directory where you have placed it and trying
./humaxrw 2: -l
If that doesn’t work try changing the 2: until it finds the drive (1:, 3:, 4: etc) (second argument is a lower case L).

I found something – humaxrw-1.14.tgz – but running the humaxrw program it contains reported no humax disk found.
What command line options did you use?
I checked the disk with a good partition editor [gparted] – it found the disk but reported it had an unrecognized format.
As I keep trying to tell you the file system is proprietary to Humax and not recognised by Unix/Linux tools nor Windows.
I think the program I found is a number of years old and possibly not compatible with more up to date software and equipment, also it might possibly also have unmet dependencies.
I would be very surprised if that was the case.

my PC operating system is Linux – is this needed software windows only?
A Linux version was available but I am not sure where to find a copy now.

thanks for that information, Martin
would it be possible or practical to transfer the files on the 9150t hard drive across to the FVP4000t internal drive via a SATA to USB cable?
You have to do it via a PC (using a SATA to USB converter or if it is a desktop using a spare SATA port) as the file system on the 9150 is proprietary and needs special software to read it.

I’d be very interested in details on accessing, copying or transferring files from the 9150t
Basically you need a way of connecting the hard drive to a PC (either a USB to SATA adapter or USB enclosure for a 3.5″ SATA drive) and the humaxrw software which can be downloaded from this forum Link to Humaxrw
also information on removing the internal hard drive from the same.
I have never taken a 9150 to bits but basically unplug the electrical supply, remove the lid (a few screws at the back), disconnect the power and data cable from the hard drive and wither take the rive out of the caddy or remove the caddy complete with hard drive.

So – I’ve ordered a SATA to USB cable, the nice people at Amazon should be delivering it on Tuesday. I’ve also extracted the HDD from the dead box and put it safely. Hopefully once I connect up to my laptop, I’ll be able to upload the programmes via either HumaxRW or Hummyreadfiles (which would be better for my purpose)
Humaxrw will work; I am not sure about Hummyreadfiles as there are small difference between the file system for the 9200 and the 9150/9300 and I don’t know whether Hummyreadfiles was updated to support both.
And once I get the files onto the laptop, how do I then watch them back?
Try VLC as a starting point.

to be clear everything else appears to be working and it was still recording new content yesterday. It’s as though that button on the reomte no longer works. I can still view the program guide etc..
does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Can you pause live TV? If not then the hard drive may have failed.

The 2000T has somehow managed to be more buggy than its predecessor despite using the same software, and Humax seem to have bigger problems to fix than this box.
Our HDR-FOX T2 rebooted a couple of times last night when trying to use iPlayer so I think there are issues with iPlayer on both boxes.

Basically. push volume up button once and it doesn’t stop goes to max!
Have you checked that there isn’t another remote in the room with a button held down by a book or similar? Might help if you state the model name of your box.

Problem is – these 25 hours of recordings I want to keep. I have deleted some old stuff and now have the HDD control showing 19% available, enough for the odd film etc.
Your choice but I can guarantee you will lose them but I can’t predict exactly when.

Will this include a fix for the HDD missing problem Barry ?
No.
