          I am unsure of how the F5 records but if its the same as most other receivers then you should be looking at the largest .ts file as your main recording all the other files could be just information about Video/Audio streams subtitles etc...

          I think for more help if list the names of the files in here someone will be able to give you a definite answer

            These boxes record .ts files in 1GB chunks (or is it 100MB - I can't remember now). This avoids the 4GB file limit of FAT32 formatted drives. There are programs around that will rejoin them, but it is easy to do manually using DOS commands. To make it easier, you can create a batch file.

            Open notepad and either copy/paste or type the following:-

            copy /b *.ts merged.ts

            Then "Save As" merge_ts.bat. (when saving this file use "Save as type = All files" to prevent .txt being added).

            Then copy the new file "merge_ts.bat" into the folder where your ts files exist and simply double click.
