Amstrad DRX280 to new 1TB HD Box

Postby Mattcleeds » Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:43 am

Having ordered an upgrade to the new 1TB HD Box I hadn't considered how I was going to transfer all my recordings From my Amstrad DRX280 to the new box. Having read a fair few threads on here I suspect I'm going to be out of luck, but please can someone confirm if my suspitions that my recording will be incompatible are correct or not?

Thanks,
Matt

It is unfortunately not currently possible to copy between Sky+ and Darwin Sky+ HD devices as they have differing planner formats and there is no software available yet to convert between the two (there used to be a way to do it, using the Thompson box as an intermediate, but that no longer works). This may be possible in the future however.
