thanks Graham. Doesn't seem to be a solution then for now. No real point in buying another Humax which will do the same, or is this limited to the 1000 and 1010s series? Can't say it reflects well on Humax. In the car industry they would do a recall. Even Microsoft are not this bad!

Downloaded the ext drivers, but windows explorer still doesn't see the drive. Disk management sees 3 partitions which are "healthy". Any suggestions?

yes; .ts; .IDX. .ts0; .HMI .PNG to be honest you could be correct in assuming I was recording to the internal as the date of these is all quite old. Interestingly I can only view these on the Humax (via recordings), not via PC with (eg VLC) Seems the internal disk has stopped talking to the...

yes I am thinking that, excpept the external has recent recordings in TS format. Wierd.

If disk is OK, what are my next steps with the Humax. (EaseUs saw the disk and 3 partitions, but as you say not seen on Windows Explorer)

How can I get the contact back again, or is this a hardware repair?

First time no spin. Second yes. I then used EaseUs partition manager to look at it, it says it is full of lost data. Tried putting it back in Humax. The factory reset (does this really do anything). still can't see the drive and no recording. THought new drive a worthwhile venture. Btw have...

thanks Trev for your generous view on this. I don't understand why I never realised there was an internal disk - or knew what I was buying! I will update on progress with new Disk tomorrow. thanks again.

sorry guys; I just opened it up, and behold an internal seagate 1000GB disk. I didn't know it was there and have been using external for 3 years! Connected to PC no response so its dead and maybe the source of the problem I don't recall ever seeing it on set ups. Anyway new one ordered and on...

Sorry for the confusion guys, However it is exactly like the HDR-1010S/1TB Freesat+ with Freetime It is white, and has HDR on the underneath. I am as confused as you. I have a serial number.

Is there a way to check from the serial number what exactly this unit is?

Since then I have factory reset which seems to male no difference. The pairing has been dropped. Still can't record. Strange; nothing on the front. ON the back it says HDR ...... 1TB, but I have never seen am internal drive. Also when I go to storage it says connect an external HDD to the USB...

You cannot record to an external hard disk from any of the models listed in the thread title. Not sure why you think you can. Not aware of any twin tuner pvr from any maker that can do this. Humax does have a single tuner model that can record to an external usb hard disk (HB-1000S). I must...

Can you answer the question, have you used the the remote scheduling app ? 3RD TIME yes WITH NO SUCCESS. WHY DO I THINK I CAN: Because I have for 3 years and now lost these recordings. Clearly I have had a wrong update on the firmware.

I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH HD. NOT SURE WHERE YOU GOT THIS FROM.
