Thanks for all your help everyone. Have had a full refund from the seller so I'm now looking for another one. Back to the drawing board!

Thanks to all who responded. Looks like it's a gonna then.

I think you might be right. I switched it off and powered it back on again. I did a factory reset and all the recordings were still there but previously when I looked they had disappeared. The clicking noise has come back but for the past 7 hours while it was supposedly formatting it had...

Thanks Martin!:thumbsup:

It's been going over 5 hours now. Please can someone advise if I should leave it on all night or if it's actually doing anything at all?:unsure:

I'm back now. The house isn't on fire. It's still going, two and half hours later. Surely that can't be right? Is it safe to try and cancel it or not?

Dare I leave it on while I'm out??? Need to go in 10 minutes. Please if anyone's still there, let me know.:unsure:

It was something I was going to try on this new box but I need to find out if it's faulty first. It's still going at 55 minutes.

That's 50 minutes now and I need to go out in half an hour. Do you think it's safe to leave it?

Thanks Ezra. I've never had to do it before but I thought it might just be a five or ten minute job. It's still "Processing". The clicking noises seem to have gone while it's doing this.

I realise it's probably never been top of the range but it really hasn't been any bother - so far!:unsure:

Thanks for all your replies. Yes, I've had a look and this is what it says: Universal Plug and Play Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications. Use UPnP:Yes Use Extended Security:Yes When I go to...

My router is a bog standard Plusnet/Thompson TG585. No range extenders, just my laptop and smart phone. I can see and play them both on my laptop as well through VLC. Is my network an automatic thing as I have never knowingly made a network? I'm a bit clueless on networking so please forgive...

I finally bought a second HDR-Fox T2 for my downstairs tv (originally trying to connect via a Wii see https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/can-i-view-recordings-through-a-wii-on-an-older-tv.8989/). My original HDR has a Humax dongle and the new one has an Edimax EW-7711UMN dongle. Neither HDR can...
