[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 982719"] But in your post you mentioned that you are able to access the recordings using the GigaBlue which means the receiver does recognize the HDD. Your priority now is to backup the 50 GB recordings by transferring the files to your PC. How do you do that: Use FTP like FileZilla and copy the files to the PC. Or connect the HDD directly to the PC and depending on the formatting and if you are using Windows O/S it might not recognize the HDD because it was formatted in Linux. You can use in this case the free tool called DiskInternals Linux Reader. Use it to copy your valued recordings to the PC. Check that you can play the files OK on the PC. If everything goes well, format the HDD in the Gigablue receiver and do some recordings to see if the recording is smooth and not erratic as you have it now. Finally copy your files from the PC to your HDD, as you mentioned you want to keep them there. Please note that different receivers create different files for recordings and this might explain the erratic behavior with the GigaBlue. If you intend to use the HDD on both receivers, then I would suggest that you use a new HDD for the GigaBlue. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
