I've run it again, for 10 hours, with the same result. I feel a little reluctant to go for a beta version - I only have the one system (which I used for all my TV watching, and I don't want to risk running into serious issues with it. Are there any options for Fix-Disk that might be useful in...

Thank you for that. I'll get onto it and report back.

I have tried several times to run Fix-Disk to check for problems on the internal drive of my HDR-FOX T2, but each time Fix-Disk stops running at the same point. (I know that Fix-Disk can take several hours to run, but in 10 hours the operation does not progress any further.) The report is as...

Any suggesions, from anyone? Should I replace the drive? If so, what drive would be suitable? (All the recommendations that I have found by looking through earlier threads have been discontinued!)

I'm sorry - I wasn't aware of the etiquette. I've now amended the posting.

I purchased the drive a year or so ago, to install in my previous HDR-FOX T2, which I abandoned shortly afterwards. I kept the drive, and have now installed it in the replacement HDR-FOX T2. I've now run the diagnostics, but I'm not sure how to report them. Should I simply copy and paste into...

Western Digital WD20EARS 2TB

I recently upgraded my HDR-FOX T2 by installing a 2TB HDD. (To do this, I updated to the latest custom firmware, physically installed the drive, let the firmare setup the drive, and copied across the media files.) All seemed to be well, but after a few days, the Humax started to freeze for no...

Thank you. This has worked perfectly.

I am about to upgrade the HDD of my HDR Fox-T2 to 2TB. I have read the Wiki entry on this topic, but am a little uncertain about dealing with the block/sector alignment issue. I have also read elsewhere of a procedure for cloning the drive using PartedMagic ISO image file, and this does seem...

Drama channel.

No, not this time. It was definitely a failure: zero recording time, and it would not play.

In my case, I got the message saying that there were no channels stored and was then taken to the tuning menu when I clicked "OK". And, yes, this happened yesterday. But 2 days earlier, there was an unexplained failure of a scheduled recording. It did not result in loss of channels, but I do...
