BT YouView digital tv recorder DTR-2100 Humax box

roytom

Ive just started using one of these BT tv recorder boxes and so far it’s been brilliant - I’ve not used a pvr for yonks so a big improvement is apparent since the last one went west about a decade ago.

But what’s the USB port on the box for? Can the recordings be backed up onto a usb device?

Thanks

I don't know about the DTR-2100 but I have the FVP-4000T
The USB device can be used to copy recordings, or you can play media from the USB device

Thanks. How do you copy to the usb drive on your player?

Is that not copy stuff onto a USB drive to play through the TV Box .
Not copy stuff from TV Box .

On mine you highlight the recording and press the + button, then select Move or Copy.


It does take a while to copy the file

Your model is not the BT Youview model , BT model cannot record to USB just tested .
