    Recorded on a Triax 537 eh. These boxes still on the go? I think I had one for 3 days before giving it back.

    Anyhow the recordings. Cant say I can remember the recording format on these, so i'll asume they are MPEG TS or TRP files.

    A lot of the non linux boxes have set structures and expect the recordings to be in certain folders with other index files, so I would forget accessing the recordings from one Triax box on another model Triax box.

    On your VU+, make sure you have the NTFS plugin installed and then reboot. It should see it then and you can assign the usb/hdd/sdb address in the VU menu. That plugin solves a lot of the cannot see drive problems, so you dont have to mount it and lose everything.

    If none of that works get a Sata to USB cable and try it via USB on a laptop.

    ntfs-3g. Its under Drivers in the plugin menu.

    If you get an error message, make sure the kernel is loaded to.

    opkg install kernel-module-ntfs
