Howdy,

I would like to know how I can copy my recordings made with my Sony TV on my PC? I know that the file is encrypted and cannot copy them directly to the PC via USB, basically, I can see the video files only on my TV.

Is there a way to copy them on my PC?
 
Hi,

Does your TV have a USB port? It may have an option to copy the files to a flash drive or external hard drive.
 
Yes, it has 2 USB ports, one where I insert the SSD and one free. How exactly I can copy files to a flash drive or another external drive?
 
It should be located in the same area where you would normally view the recordings.

Sorry, I can’t provide specific details as that would vary depending on the TV model.
 
You're right. It looks like the files are encrypted on the Sony TV to prevent copying them to another device.
