Thanks @prpr! I hadn't spotted that package in my searches. It worked a treat and now I have: Available Size 3693.8 GB Used Size 20.0 GB Reserved Size 2307.2 GB Total Size 6001.0 GB Very happy :-).

Hello. Hoping you might be able to advise. I've been experimenting with a spare 6TB Seagate SkyHawk (ST6000VX001). I've had a look through previous posts and read that drives larger than 4TB can cause issues with the Humax software. I formatted the drive using the excellent CF GPT option in the...

Thanks so much for your responses! Intially, I checked the drive on my linux machine, then installed it in the Humax and formatted it using the on-screen menu. Then re-installed webif and started copying using the on-screen menus. Interestingly, when I tried to format the drive again through...

Hello, I've searched the forum but not found anything similar, so sorry if this has been covered before. I just bought a second-hand drive to upgrade my HDR-FOX T2 to 2TB. I formatted it, ran a fixdisk with no errors. I started copying over programmes from the old 500GB drive (maybe 80GBs...

Reallocated sector count: 0 Power on hours: 6866 I assume that means I'm doing alright. I've seen a lot higher power on hours while browsing the forum. And I just noticed that your post I mentioned above said 2013 reallocated sectors. Not sure my 1 is as dramatic as I first thought.

Thanks @MartinLiddle and @Black Hole . It was indeed a hard drive problem. 'Pending sector count' and 'offline sector count' were both showing 1 in the SMART data. I followed the excellent disk recovery guide above and now we're up and running again (affected file was redring.log which I assume...

OK. Thanks for that. Will do that this evening.

Thanks for your help in diagnosing. I think bodgery sounds very plausible! Fortunately, I have a wall to mount a new aerial, so I think I'll try and find an installer and get my own aerial :). @MikeSh, the issue has worsened and as of yesterday is also affecting the TV reception, so I guess...

Hello. Long time listener, first time caller. Thanks to the forum for all the answers I've found the last few years and big fan of the customised firmware. My HDR-FOX T2 has been fine over the last 6 years. I'm connected to a communal aerial somewhere along my row of houses which I still...
