Hi,
As the title suggests, I'm trying to copy exisitng recordings from my Amstrad DRX280 Sky+ box to a second hand Pace TDS850NB Sky+HD box. I've used Copy+ in the past when I've had replacement Sky+ boxes so I'm familiar with the software.
Copy+ seems to make the copy ok, the only warning message I'm getting is about some boxes having problems with partitions over 507GB (I think it was 507, it was 500 and something anyway), but the disk I'm copying to is the 320Gb Seagate that was already in the TDS850. As far as I can tell, the Pace is pre-Darwin, I doesn't meet any of the criteria in this FAQ thread :- http://www.skycopyplus.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1057.
When I put the Seagate drive back in the Pace box after the copy, everything boots up ok but there's nothing in the planner - not recorded programs, nor any of the Anytime programs I also copied over (just to see if they would appear). I've done a planner rebuild (a couple of times, just to make sure) but still nothing. I can record a new program on the Pace and view it ok, so I know the Pace box is working ok.
If I understand correctly, both the DRX280 and the TDS850NB are Big Endian, so I've copied my programs over on that basis. If that's ruled out,
Does anyone have any clues? I'd really like to get this swap done as soon as possible, we keep getting audio un-syncs and dropouts on the recordings on the Amstrad, so I kind of guess its on the way out.
Any help would be very appreciated.
