Files to USB problem
I'm trying to copy files to my USB memory stick, the file is just one movie, my memory stick is 2GB when I press the green button to copy to the usb I get a message saying
No more storage available, there are no other files on my memory stick, so why am I getting this message |

Your right, and thanks for your help, I tried a smaller file file and it copied it ok, I have a 8GB stick but how do I reformat it to the correct format?

At a guess, the file is larger than 2GB.

Agreed, I had the very same problem, the total file size does also depend on what channel it was recorded from, I have fitted an hour programme from ITV1 on a 2 GB stick but not one from BBC1, a 90 min movie would be too large for a 2GB stick in any case.

Hi all,
On this subject, I'm thinking of getting the Foxsat hdr and I've seen that you can transfer files onto memory stick etc can those files then be watched on a PC? Or will it only playback on the foxsat? Thanks guys |

Can be played back on a PC without any problems, except from files that are encrypted such as BBC HD

The supported files are EXT2/3 and FAT16/32 Please format the usb device to EXT2/3 or FAT16/32 on your PC If you are using Windows on your PC, stick the USB drive into a USB slot on the PC, open up My Computer, right click on the drive & choose format; make sure the drop down is FAT32, not FAT. If you want to go down the Ext3 route, use the link posted above. Edit : I have just seen your last line edit. It has been reported that some USB sticks, just do not work with the HDR. Rgds. Les. |

It could be that the file size is more then 4GB which wouldn't be transferable if your 8GB stick is formatted in FAT32 (which it may be) Best to re-format as savvy suggests. The Foxsat cannot tell you the file size but how long is it and from which channel was it recorded?
But, I would try a reformat, and if it still doesn't recognise it, then put it down as one of those sticks that won't work with the HDR. Rgds. Les. |

He's not getting that far, the HDR isn't recognising it.

We can but hope that the much discussed firmware update will bring us FTP* and all this USB madness can be consigned to the history books.
* File transfer protocol - for those who haven't used it is a method of transferring files over a network connection. Several of the HDRs cousin products from Humax in Europe have this enabled, for some reason they chose to disable it on the HDR. |

That reminds me I need to run an ethernet cable around the room in anticipation

You'll need the ethernet for iplayer anyhow so it won't be wasted, even if Humax don't see sense and re-enable FTP on the device. |

Non working USB stick
Quote:
Yes agreed it could be down to the USB stick not be compatible, I have used Sony 2GB and 4GB and they have been fine.
Is this how we are defining ' just one of those incompatible sticks' or is there something else that I am missing. |
