I can transfer recordings from anHDR2000T to a FVP5000T with a USB, but it dousn’t work the other way round as the FVP5000T loads to the root folder of the USB.
Also, where is the “i” button, for program information?
There isn’t an “i” button.
Yes, I know that, but what do get to read program information?

The problem is when you save to USB from the 5000T the files are saved in a folder named .recordings. To the Humax operating system (Linux) this is a hidden folder. When you insert the USB drive in the 2000T it can’t see the hidden folder. If you insert the USB drive into your computer you might be able to see the .recordings folder. If you can you could rename the folder (eg. change it to recordings). If you can’t see the folder on your computer you will have to enable the show hidden files and folders feature (Might be different for each version of Windows and certainly different for other operating systems – so I can’t help you with this bit). When you next insert the USB drive in the 2000T you should see the folder.
Thanks EEPhil. I’ll try it. I noticed that my usb was listed twice in Explorer.
Tried it. Didn’t work. Nothing showed up on the 2000.
Showed up in the computer in the USB under .recordings -Four times, HJM file, HJTSM file, NTS file & TS file.

I take it you did rename the .recordings folder? The crucial thing is to remove the leading dot.

The TS file is the only one that will be useful on the HDR-2000T; try copying it to somewhere eles on the USB memory stick.
I removed the leading dot. The 2000 played the video, but no sound.
Don’t understand “try copying it to somewhere eles on the USB memory stick.”
Do I copy from the 5000 to the USB, then via my computer copy the program to another file?

Not sure what is happening. I will do a test and come back to you.

Yes that was what I was suggesting but it doesn’t matter as removing the dot worked.
Thank you very much for your prompt replies.

I copied a short recording to USB storage, removed the dot from .recordings and attepted to play it on an HDR-FOX T2 and it played fine with audio and video. I tried both audio settings (multi-channel or stereo) and both worked. Unfortunately I won’t have access to our HDR-2000T until after the lockdown ends. Maybe EEPhil could repeat the experiment as I have no ideas why it isn’t working for you; sorry.
I am trying to repeat the experiment with a very short (1 minute) programme.
However, I’m getting nowhere slowly. For reasons I don’t understand it has taken me over 1.5 hours to not transfer the 1 minute programme to USB. I’m now trying a different USB device and getting the same problem. (I usually move things around a different way!)

Freeview-HD uses a different Audio codec to the usual Dolby Digital (AAC) . Both units will transcode on playback to Dolby Digital. Guessing the 2000T can’t do this for recordings made on a 5000T,
It seems as though the problem I had was which USB port I used on the 5000T. With the rear port things appeared to move quickly. I renamed the .recordings folder and inserted into a 2000T and the programme played properly with sound (both audio settings). I even checked the connection to the TV. My 5000T is connected by HDMI cable but, as the TV has only 1 HDMI port, the 2000T is usually connected using RCA connectors. I changed that for the HDMI connection and that also worked.
