Well the information is out there, all you have to do is let it in.
Quote:Well the information is out there, all you have to do is let it inHi, ‘Out there somewhere’ is not very helpful. If you know how to transfer files from a Humax FVP4000-T directly to a PC, I would really appreciate you sharing that knowledge, otherwise it looks like I have 2 options:
1. Transfer via a USB stick as you have suggested
2. Return the Humax and get a different PVR, but will that be any better?

As said previously don’t over think this. Just before bed time pop the USB thumb drive in the PVR select your progs and they will be ready for you the following morning. Simply transfer them to PC then – it’s quick painless and easy.
Mmmm, I bought the Humax specifically because I am not a ‘techie’ and no-one said that was a prerequisite for copying files! Humax told me that it was ‘simple to copy files across to a PC’. It clearly is not, otherwise this post would have a simple, one line reply of how to do it.
Humax Tech support today have told me to set up an FTP client, as that will work. Now have FileZilla installed, and can now copy the recorded files from the FVP4000-T to my PC!
Great, BUT, it will not play on VLC – apparently just copying via FTP does not de-encrypt the file, unlike via USB. Yet another fail from Humax.

Tech Support keep trotting out the same old rubbish I’m afraid.
I covered all this with them months ago and sent them versions of files copied by both mapped drives and FTP to Vista and Win 7 PCs to prove to them that none of the files are playable using any publicily available media player. Unfortunately, they either just can’t get their head around the problem or they are just keeping their heads down and hoping it goes away.

You don’t need to be a techie. When you put the thumb drive into the Humax it comes up on screen, all you have to do then is select the programmes you want to copy, click copy and retire for the night. That’s hardly rocket science and neither is popping the drive into your PCs usb port either.
Or you could do a free upgrade from W7 which is now old hat to the very good and stable Windows 10. You will have to do this anyway at some point when support ends for W7.
