    Slow 'Processing'...Any Thoughts?

    You have possibly got blinkers on yourself to what I have been saying in the requests made. I have only relatively recently become a user of the CF (I know, I should have done it years ago) so things that are second nature to you old hands with it are new to me. I thought I was making it clear...

    Slow 'Processing'...Any Thoughts?

    I know you're a man of some wisdom around the T2 on this forum, but expanding that to an apparent knowledge of what someone you don't know either thinks or feels is beyond even your capabilities. Please desist and stick with what you have an undeniable talent for...it's safer that way.

    How Do I Remove A Rogue File Preventing A Series Recording?

    Thanks BH. Pardon the ignorance, but how exactly do I create the command line. Not done it before. I think this file is a rogue. It appears among the root directory recordings in the file editor rather than with other series folders. Also, I don’t think it is being recreated in the way you...

    Slow 'Processing'...Any Thoughts?

    I didn’t, as the disc had been used for several years and had appeared to be getting ‘weary’, in various respects, in recent times before the slow processing issue started.

    How Do I Remove A Rogue File Preventing A Series Recording?

    Using the file editor under the diagnostics function in cf, I have discovered there is a rogue series file that appears under .series that is not visible under the media/video list in either cf or on the box itself I believe this entry is preventing the series in question from being recorded...

    Slow 'Processing'...Any Thoughts?

    Just to close the loop on this issue (which often posts don't do!), I replaced the HDD and the slow processing problem has been solved. Now whip fast again!

    What is This Curious .thm Duplicate?!

    An update, in case it helps explain the odd behaviour. Last night I deleted the Father Brown.thm sub file containing the Pointless episode and it moved to the ‘Deleted’ folder for later deletion. The Father Brown episode itself remained in the Father Brown folder. I also deleted the Pointless...

    What is This Curious .thm Duplicate?!

    Thanks prpr. Can you give me a little more detail on the procedure you'd like me to follow? Thanks.

    What is This Curious .thm Duplicate?!

    Hello BH! I am on the current CF, which I newly re-loaded onto new Skyhawk at your suggestion (i.e. I didn't transfer). I didn't select the package with decryption or any other package requiring post-processing to my knowledge. I have been recording since installing the HDD and CF on it last...

    What is This Curious .thm Duplicate?!

    Just recently installed a new Seagate Skyhawk 2TB drive. Pleased with it so far. Today I have had a first from the box after many years ownership. I recorded Father Brown earlier today and Pointless later on. When I was looking at the various recordings on the box just now I noticed 2 files...

    Seagate Skyhawk 2TB - Install and CF

    Thanks for the quick response. Pardon my ignorance, but…how do I actually do that?!

    Seagate Skyhawk 2TB - Install and CF

    Got a new 2TB Skyhawk coming and looking at various posts it seems that the standard box will format this drive automatically. Does this also apply with the CF (latest version) installed? And will the CF still be there after formatting the new drive or do I have to re-load it all?

    Slow 'Processing'...Any Thoughts?

    I did recently look at a log following a crash where it locked up - and no errors etc were present!

    Slow 'Processing'...Any Thoughts?

    I have the latest CWF version loaded. In the last week or two, when in the recorded programmes folder list, the unit has been showing 'processing' on screen when moving between items for much longer than previously (several seconds the norm, sometimes a little longer). This happens when coming...
