Hi,
I did the ota update today.
When I go into the menu to copy programmes to my external usb drive, for playback on the hdr, the copy function is still greyed out for HD recordings. I thought this had changed with the update.
My hdd is formatted fat 32, does it need to be formatted ext3 to allow the hd recordings to transfer, or is it the case that only recordings made after the update will transfer.
Any ideas?

The update has not changed anything in respect of archiving HD except that BBC HD recordings with a copy once flag can now be transferrred (once) to USB and now will play back from USB, previously you had to copy them back to the internal hdd to play them. HD recordings don't care if the disc is FAT32 or EXT3 but FAT32 can't have files bigger than 4Gb so unless the HD recording is very short it can't be transferred to a Fat32 disc

Is it an ITV HD recording? ITV haven't implemented the Copy Once facility like the BBC have

Does Ext3 support files over 4gb?
