FTP transfer prohibited for TF1 on Freebox!!! Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
If someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. I have the Freebox V5 and I regularly record on a few channels (TF1, France4, France4, Arte...) and when I want to transfer my videos to my computer to convert them to DivX, it works for recordings from all channels except TF1. The Freebox indicates in the file details that for all my recordings made on TF1, FTP transfer is prohibited, and as a result, I can't see the files from my computer...
Is there a way to unlock these files? Is it a setting on the Freebox or the computer that I need to change, or is it simply TF1 sending a signal that the file should be blocked just to annoy everyone???? I've recorded interesting films and documentaries that I'd like to keep; moreover, it's not piracy since it's a public broadcast, I don't see why they would block their shows.....
Anyway, if anyone has a solution, that would help me a lot, thanks in advance.

The best solution would be to file a complaint against TF1, as copying is permitted by the Lang law of 1985 under the provision that "the right to private copying allows any individual to make a backup copy of any audiovisual content for private use."

Hi, if you were reading the news about Free, you wouldn't be asking yourself the question (TF1 has vetoed the channel transfer)

Hello, the FTP transfer of TF1 recordings is possible if it’s the DTT that was recorded :-)

Hello, I think I have a solution by connecting the DVD burner to the HD case output.

I took out the disk from the Freebox and connected it in administrator mode to my Linux system. The TFE recording is not located in the recordings folder but in a hidden directory called .private-records with hidden attributes and read-only rights for the file owner. I copied it to my system and changed the permissions.

It’s not TF1 that prohibits it, but the software in the Freebox that determines where a recording file should be stored.

On the disk, there are 3 ext2 Linux partitions, 2 of which are hidden.

It's cool, in theory we are allowed to make private copies (in this case, copying from a Freebox to one's own PC), but in practice this right is violated, even though a few years ago a tax was added to all digital media (USB sticks, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, etc.) so that we could continue to enjoy this right...

This restriction is illegal and unfair.

Hello everyone,

I'm revisiting the topic to see if there are any new tips for recovering recorded videos from TF1, M6, etc.
Indeed, recently during the holiday season, TF1 broadcasted the Lord of the Rings trilogy in HD! These magnificent films, and in high definition to boot, I was thrilled! The only problem is that the hard drive of the Freebox filled up very quickly and now I have no space left.

I previously saw that someone managed to recover protected shows by disconnecting the hard drive from the Freebox and reconnecting it to a PC running Linux.

I'm using Vista Home Premium; is there any way for me to recover my films??
