Finally found a shop with one in stock, and have it waiting to be plugged in pending final days of Sky contract.
Going to take the 500gb hard drive I put in my Sky+ box, put it in an external caddy and use it as backup space attached to the usb port on the back of the humax.
So,
1/ I have read that the humax will only handle large files if the box is formatted to linuxs ext3. No problem with this, but would like to be able to watch stuff via PC as and when. Is there a simple way to get windows (xp) to recognise this filing system?
2/ If I can get windows to read ext3, or even if I can't and have to use fat32, does the external drive appear as a visible drive for PCs to access if I connect the humax up to my network?
Looking forward to getting it set up, just waiting for my missus to catch up with all the gubbins she's got recorded on the sky+.

Thanks for the confirmation.
