Sep 22, 2017 路 Is there any way of transferring recordings from my BT Youview box to my laptop? I was going to remove the drive to access it, but what with Linux partitions, exotic formats and encryption, this route would take too long for me get my head around, as I need the recordings pretty soon. Connect an external recorder or compatible device to the YouView box via HDMI 馃摵. My box is full and i need to make space whilst archiving the many shows i've recorded and don't want to have to Jan 14, 2025 路 Hello, I have an old Humax box (YouView DTR T2000 500GB) with unwatched programmes on it.

The inability to directly move recordings to new YouView boxes has triggered frustration among users unwilling to lose their existing content. When you copy them over you need to rename them as the filenames contain characters a Windows PC doesn't recognise. Time is really the constraint, not lack of brain power! Apr 7, 2011 路 Then purchase an external hard case - put the drive inside and reuse it this way. If a youview box comes across a recoding which is missing from its database it will delete that recording. The YouView app supports only one box at a time, so you’ll need to head to your iPhone or Android settings and delete the unique number for your old box before firing up the app again and running through the set-up .

Repeat the process for each Aug 14, 2023 路 Re: Transferring Recordings from BT TV Box to an External Hardrive? If you have something that can record component video, you can put the output of a YouView HD-recorded programme out in real time through the ‘analogue hole’, with an HDMI to component video converter. Oct 18, 2017 路 Surely, the HDD contents must be private property, and should, therefore be recognised and treated as such. As this exchange of BT YouView devices must not be infrequent, should BT not be obliged to hook up old and new HDDs and ensure transfer of recordings, so that such property remains in, this case, my mother's hands?
