John,

If you mean download from HDR to a PC or vice versa I assume you are trying to use a USB device formatted to FAT32 as a transit and hitting the 4GByte limit.

As an alternative to formatting the USB device to ext3, you could use the Raydon custom firmware which supports file transfer between PC/Laptop and the HDR over the network, so there is no requirement for the intermediate use of any USB device either FAT32 or ext3.

If you’ve got the custom firmware already, you just need to look at using FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

Hi guy’s

Thank you for the welcome, and I thought it might be as simple as pushing a button problem is I am 70 and you have lost me and yes I do use a memory stick formated to fat32 so I will change it to ext3 and see what happens,

again many thanks for your help,

John

Hi again John

You can use EXT2 on a USB stick (it’s a better FS for small solid state memory devices). If the content was HD recorded in Freesat mode then it won’t play on anything else due to the encryption imposed by Freesat so unless it’s a very long SD recording there won’t be much point in copying it to a PC. I’m 68 by the way
