Andrue is correct, we've had discussions about NTFS in in current products and more recently about future products. However it was not deemed viable because we could only support NTFS 'read' with a degree of reliability and write would have been more than uncertain. Any convenience that adding a read-only capability of a propitiatory file-system would have created would have been dramatically out weighed by the level of confusion, and expectation, for the majority of consumers.
It might be disappointing but that's the way the cookie crumbles, the situation might change in future but I don't see Microsoft contributing code to the effort any time soon. Overall these devices are consumer electronics and not computers, they might use technologies found in computing but often the design must take into account a different use case which demands a different approach.

No chance (well, very little chance) of NTFS being supported on the HDR.
NTFS is a propriety Microsoft 'trade secret'. If Humax were to use it they'd have to pay Microsoft a load of wonga, which I'd assume they aren't prepared to do. Rob |
