I have read a lot about this (honestly !) and I am a Copy+ "veteran" (well, I've used it a couple of times). I thought I had understood the arrival of Darwin to HD boxes.
I have successfully copied the contents of a 1TB HDD from an old Thomson HD box to a blank 2TB HDD put into a new Amstrad 890.
Flushed with success, I attempted to repeat the process from a PVR3 (DSI8210) to another blank 2TB HDD and another new Amstrad 890. Like Blizthund, I found that the Planner was empty.
Now I thought that Darwin didn't apply to SD boxes, and so the PVR3 would be a valid source. I also thought that booting the 890 would "convert" or "Darwinise" the HDD for use in the new Amstrad box.
I thought that I was careful with the "Endian" stuff ... but I can't "see" any entries at all in the Planner.
What have I done wrong ?
Do I have to follow another route, perhaps ?
Is there some other way (or prospect of a way to come) to migrate from a PVR3 to a (well, any!) HD box ? The PVR3 is nearly full and we are looking to go HD at this viewing point - SWMBO will not be at all happy if I can't transfer the many hours of "back TV" which have built up.
Cheers
