Just to let you know that I've bought and installed a new HDD. I bought a Seagate 1TB SATA6 3.5 HDD 5900RPM 64MB Pipeline from BT Shop for £52.73. The deciding factor after price was the 3 Year Guarantee. Simple to fit and all's well now ;-)

When I pressed the Media button nothing happened. Pressing the Record button didn't work either. I contacted Humax and after doing a couple of starts by putting the plug into a live socket achieved nothing I was told that the HDD was dead. I was told to leave it unplugged for 8 hours and try...

The HDD on my Fox T2 packed up last week. I bought it in January 2014 so I'm a bit miffed that it's failed so soon. I've looked at the thread that covers replacing a HDD in the Fox T2 and this one has been suggested: Seagate ST1000VM002 Pipeline HD 1 TB Internal Hard Drive. I'm quite happy...
