Thanks for such a quick reply, Black Hole. I don't know that already, to be honest. I'm a complete novice about these things. I know how to work the machine because Humax makes it so intuitive, but what goes on under the bonnet remains a mystery to me. It sounds to me as if the simplest answer...

I have been using my T2 almost daily for a couple of years. It has been filled to bursting several times, so one of my New Year resolutions was to try to clear as much stuff off it as possible. After six weeks of marathon viewing sessions and skimming, I'm now down to just 19 files containing...
