My New Dish TruHD+ Connection

[Biswajit.HD]

@Vinay, i also have file system in my USB pen drive as FAT32, but that doesn't matter, because in case of dish tru hd+ the STB formats the pen drive after inserting it into USB slot. And after ejecting it out from stb it becomes unrecognized in Windows explorer.

Though i use NTFS file system only but that does not matter at all because as Biswa & Ahmarshad say , the STB formats the drive to it's own recognizable format everytime you insert it & then it becomes unrecognizable in Windows.

I don't know what is the trick or magic happens in your case Vinay.Are you using Windows 7 too or XP/Vista ?

If it could be recognized in Windows like you , we could all record programs on the drive on STB & then burn those onto blank DVDs/Blu Rays on computer & make the drive empty & start recording programs again on the STB so that we could use a fresh drive everytime.

I don't know what is the trick or magic happens in your case Vinay.Are you using Windows 7 too or XP/Vista ?

Yes I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

 

[Ahmar]

did you used any software to acess these files?

 

[sushruta]

Yes I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

I am using Windows 7 X64.Is that a reason maybe ?

@ Ahmar & Biswajit :- You guys are using 32 bit or 64 bit of Windows ?

 

[Ahmar]

before i was using 32 bit ultimate it asked to format then also. i recently upgraded to 64 bit it is not working now also......

 

[sushruta]

What is the trick/workaround then ? I think i will try installing Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit on one of my laptops just to see if it works like Vinay.Otherwise i'm out of idea now.

Guys, listen, what happens is that your stb puts certain sectors in the HDD thats unreadable by PC. Those are bad sectors. Run a CHKDSK on the disk you might be lucky.
If that doesnt work, try defragmenting the HDD..

There is absolutely nothing that a PC cant open. There is always a way around

But won't that lead to piracy again!
Dishtv had made data encryption to protect copyrighted data , isn't it?
so how can it be playable?
