I have a TM6902, & had a similar problem, when I attached a 320GB hard drive, not long after purchasing the receiver. What cured it, so that the receiver would play the original files, was to re-format the drive using the menu option on the receiver itself. Bingo! The saved files would then...

I got the same as Pontiend. 'Bout right, I suppose.

On hold again, due to a faulty valve. Have they tried turning it off & back on, again, I wonder?

I used to like Aztec Bars when I was young (made by Cadbury's, if I remember rightly). For a decent retro sweet store, try here: http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/ PS: I remember Cresta, too. Lovely drink that was!

Thanks, everyone. I will get to sorting these files out when I get the chance (probably over Easter!). One thing I really like about this forum is that there are so many people who are willing to help & give advice. Cheers!

Hello CH. Sorry for the delay. Damn work....always gets in the way!! My old TM6900 used to save files in the .trp format, & there is software which can handle those (like iSkysoft for Mac). However, this TM6902 saves movies as split files, with extensions .001, .002, & so on. It also saves the...

Hello CH. Thanks for the reply. It doesn't seem to matter whether I format the HD using the receiver or a pc. The recording saved files are all the same. They can always be copied/moved to the mac or pc, but I've yet to find a way of using the files. Of course, they will play back through the...

Hello One & All. Can someone tell me how to get video files off a hard-drive connected to my receiver, please? I have recorded some films & would like to put them onto dvd discs. I could do it from the same drive when it was connected to my old TM6900, but this time, I'm stumped! The saved...

The 'Cox Effect' would have been much bigger if he announced that he bought his underwear from La Senza, too!!! :-rofl2

that sucks!!

A man starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this, a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade. Realising his employer won't be best pleased; he disposes of the...

Dog handling equipment went in the same raid. The police are asking for leads.

The usb version I have does NOT have top-up tv capabilities. No card slot, no cam facility. However, the channel details ARE editable, and I am told it is possible to get at least one of the pay-tv channels open by using this method. ;) Woody.

Hi There. I currently use a Twinhan PCI card, and for freeview, I have an external USB Hauppauge WinNova T. These seem to co-exist ok, even though my computer is a bit on the old side (PIII, 550MHz). I didnt have a spare pci slot for a terrestrial card!! Hope this helps. Woody.
