They are not there without the USB drive plugged in, so, yes.

You can copy/move HD recordings to a connected usb HDD and then playback on the same unit is was copied/moved from.
To copy/move highlight recording and use the + function.
To see contents of any connected usb HDD select storage in the left menu of recording list.
Thanks Barry but storage only shows one drive (The internal HDD). It’s recognised as a video source so is connected. Perhaps you have to copy direct from the box.
I will try that approach.
Graham, are you copying the files to the .recordings folder of the USB drive?
That worked. The drive now appears in storage.
How do you copy a single recording within a folder ? + only seems to be active at the folder level.

Yes tried both a user folder and the .recordings folder. The drive only appeared after copying directly from the box. Seems the copying causes the drive to be mounted. So far not found a way to copy a single recording in a series folder.
I have found that the USB drive doesn’t mount if the box is in standby when I plug it in. I’m pretty sure it used to.
To do one episode you’d need to ftp to PC then copy to USB. Longwinded.

The box was booted when I plugged in the drive, it brought up the Video/Photos/Music prompt. I was able to locate the recordings. but no sign of it in storage. There are .mp4’s on the same drive these playback fine from Video.
I’m just looking in the recordings menu where I find my other programs. They show up just like any other recording I’ve made.
Reading this thread suggests the following – is it correct?
1. HD recordings are encrypted
2. The password for encryption and decryption is unique to each box so the recording is “tied to” the box doing the recording. Presumably the encrypt/decrypt process (software and/or hardware) is located on the mother board
3. The box will play back HD content located on any disk or USB as long as the content was recorded on that box because the box can decrypt the content
4. The box will not play back HD content recorded from another box because it cannot decrypt it.
Item 3 means that I can archive HD recordings off the box onto a backup disk. I can then bring back the archived HD recordings to the box and play them.
