Yes it been done and apart from the 1GB minimum reserved for photos/music it's all available. The snag is that the hdr won't do the required partition and formatting for drives larger than 1TB you have to do it yourself. Personally I would not bother displaying a media list for over 1TB of recordings takes an age
![]() Why not add a second 1TB externally connected by usb and archive to that. |

Media Player - AC Ryan MD MIni, highly recommedned. Roll on the next generation of HDR when I can automate this - except for ad removal anyway, I've seen programs that attempt to remove ads automatically but not seen one that works well yet, VideoRedo advertisement feature slow and error prone. |

I upgraded mine to 2TB but had to run Linux on my laptop to partition the disk (have posted about this here before). I bought a USB-SATA adaptor so I could plug the drive into the laptop as my PC only has IDE connectors.
The problem is that the Humax Media Guide becomes incredibly slow to start up as more programmes are recorded. Mine's taking 6+ seconds to come up after pressing 'Media' - the disk is only 54% full. In hindsight I'd only install 1TB. Though if Humax could implement proper indexing (rather than scanning through the files every time you press Media) then it would be fine. |
