Hello
I wonder if someone can help. My PVR9200 decided to wipe all my recorded programmes (about 50 hours worth). I contacted Humax tech support and have been given a link httpp://myhumax.org/blog/?page_id=153them and told to connect my humax to my lap top via a cable and it will download the recordings to my computer but still not sure what cable to use. I was also told by someone else that it would be cheaper to take the hard drive out of the humax and put in a hard drive case and connect with a simple usb lead. Really confused. Which is easiest and best? Thanks

So they are I assume suggesting you use humaxrw (which is the only way to do it). You will need a USB to IDE adaptor such as Link to eBay seller
This comes with a separate power supply which avoids the risks of using the Humax power supply with the lid open (very easy to touch something and destroy the Humax power supply). You will have to use humaxrw in recovery mode (-r command line option).
I was also told by someone else that it would be cheaper to take the hard drive out of the humax and put in a hard drive case and connect with a simple usb lead.
That is an option; it may cost fractionally more and involves slightly more disassembly of the Humax but it is a valid alternative. If you go that route you need a case that will take a 3.5″ drive and with an IDE interface. You will still need to use humaxrw.
