NOTE Audio on HD recordings on Freeview is aac, this has to be converted to say ac3 to use on a DVD. You can also set up a virtual usb drive on the internal HDD and create unencrypted content by copying to this.

Note the CF allows ntfs drives to be used and also you can copy direct to a PC after the file has been decrypted. If your Humax is a Freeview box (HDR FOX T2), the situation is different.Īll recordings are encrypted, SD ones are decrypted on copying to USB, HD ones aren't.Īgain two ways to resolve this, because the box has the capability to remove the encryption it can be fooled into decrypting content on copying to usb.ġ A application by Raydon called Foxy (patches the ,hmt file)Ģ Custom Firmware, this has an automatic decrypt after record package. Note, there is a well known program called Foxy that clears the ENC. To create DVD-Video from these files the content has to recoded to mpeg2 576i. This script uses FTP to look through all the Humax recordings and clear the ENC flag. Programmes longer than say an hour will require a blu-ray burner. Shouldn't be any issues with SD recordings, they are DVD compliant (mpeg2), it only requires the transport stream container (.ts) converting to programme stream (.mpg).ġ080i H264/AVC files (HD) can only be burnt to DVD blanks using AVCHD format, a Blu-ray player is required for playback, the available capacity on a single layer DVD restricts recording times to 30-40 minutes depending on the bitrate of the original transmission. Use the navigation keys to scroll listings one at a time. Navigating the Players section: Use the playback control buttons to control the content on the selected player app. This fools the box into recording HD just like SD (Without encryption) HUMAX is not responsible for the content or the discontinuity of the services. HD recordings are made without encryption but you have to manually start the recordings.Ģ Much more conviently install the Custom Firmware package and Nowsters firmware patch.

The encryption key is specific to one box so only the box that recorded it will play it back.ġ Use non-freesat mode (reboot after entering non-freesat). Freesat encrypts HD recordings as they are streamed to the Hard Disk.
