I have a Humax HDR-1100S 1TB Freesat HD Digital TV Recorder'
I can plug in a Western Digital USB disk, but other than formatting, there
doesn't seem to be a way of doing anything with it. I expected to be able to
store/reord and replay things using it.

I wouldn't expect direct recording to work but have tried copying a
recording from the internal disk? Or loading any supported media type,
offline.

I would imagine this is a stipulation dictated by the copyright Mafia, to
try to stop what we all did in the days of Video tape!

There is nothing provided to do anything other than format the external disk.

Looking at the menu structure on the HDR 2000 T, and assuming your model
is similar. You'd go to media, select the file you want to copy, press
the options button, pull down the list of destinations, and hopefully
find the USB disk.

I suspect you are trying to find a copy to here option, which doesn't
exist, only a copy from here to there one.

According to the documentation, on my HDR 2000 T, that is handled by
storing in a form encrypted in such a way that only the specific
recorder can decrypt it. (Only HD; SD is supposedly decrypted.)

I tried. There is no copy in the pull down. Thanks anyway, David. :-)
