Having a Humax 9200 and a Toppy 5800 both of which transfer more quickly to USB with the aerial out (also in Games Mode which is not as quick as removing the aerial), I wondered if it's possible to speed up transfers on the hdr by relieving the cpu load. (Currently clearing space for Xmas). There's no games mode on a hdr and disconnecting the lnb feeds is a bit impractical :eek:
I recorded a 15 min clip of BBC-HD in non freesat to avoid not being able to copy multiple times and tried the following
Tuning to a currently not available channel in Freesat mode gave the fastest results, (sadly the increase in speed is not dramatic)
Anyone got any other ideas ?

The other day, I was recording 2 HD shows, watching a 3rd HD from disk and doing a transfer, and it was at least 3 times slower than normal!
Allmost certainly, the drive being written to is a WD 1TB sata drive formatted EXT3
Not necessarily. This issue was raised nearly two years ago and the difference between the HDR and a laptop showed to be quite significant.

When the box has finished recording I will transfer the test file to a usb stick under the BBC4 off air scenario.
The transfer was the slowest recorded (DaneElec 8GB stick)
To Usb Stick (BBC4 off line ) Transfer Time 00:02:55 Times Real Time 5.14 Time for 5hrs 00:58:20
