I have just completed the delete U&W and Freesat tune procedure on my Foxsat-HDR and it worked, U&W is back. I then discovered that all the other U&.... channels had the same issue so had to repeat it (deleting them all before doing the Freesat tune). All now looks OK.

Not sure if it is related but I keep getting a message about postings failing when they are actually successful. Seems to be related to replying to direct messages.

I bit the bullet and bought a replacement hard drive (from Amazon). The specific drive I bought was as follows: Western Digital WD10EURX AV-GP 1TB internal Hard drive (8.9cm (3.5") SATA 6 Gb/s 64mb) The listing on Amazon.de specifies this as a Serial ATA-600 which is too fast for a HUMAX...

The timeshift buffer rename and revcreate seems to have doen the job. As regards the fixdisk I did run that.

Thanks. I've done the rename and will report back.

I installed the Custom Firmware v4.1.3 some time ago following a complete clearing and reformatting of my HD after a video then sound freeze issue and it has worked perfectly. Very recently I installed the NOWSTER patch (allows HD channels to be recorded in an unencrypted format so that they...

I have looked under "WebIF/Package Management" for details of the SIDECAR functionality to recreate the two supporting files (hmt and nts) but cannot find it. I am doing this because I have a number of files that were converted to MPEG-2 M2TS via VideoRedo and I am reading different things...

For the record here are the results of "smartctl" after the reformat via: umount /mnt/hd3 mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda3 I know it is very top level but before the format the "Used" pie chart stood at a little over 18.6GB with only one very short recording on the unit but now stands at 0.1GB. I...

Here are the results of "smartctl" to be read 001, 002, 003 with some overlap. There are a series of errors (numbered 6389n) as follows:

So I pulled the HDD connector out and that has stopped the video freeze/sound loss "crash" so I guess it is safe to conclude it's a hard disk issue that's connected to the block issues that fix-disk has reported. I'll install and try smartctl and then do the format from Maintenance Mode as...

As requested - see attached

I wasn't sure that would work - I'll give it a try.

i stand corrected

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That was what I did originally so the disk is now pretty much empty apart from a short test recording done after it was reformatted (which was done...

No it's not your problem and I did prefix my reply with "poor use of terminology on my part". This surely is, at best, a minor side issue?
