Lovely - thanks very much for your help.

That would explain the "Note: Content Sharing is disabled on this system" at the top of the file lists. Where do I go to switch it back on? (Sorry - I'm an absolute novice with all this.) Edit - found it. Thanks.

Hello all. Some time ago I replaced the original 500Gb drive with a new 2Tb drive. Previously to save space on the disc I had recursive autoshrink and autodecrypt on everything, always working well. I've just realised that since the changeover, new programmes are not being decrypted or shrunk...

Hello - if I'm the OP in question, I've got more programmes with glitches than without these days. I was also of the opinion that the drive would have to be replaced at some point, so I might as well do it now. I've gone for the 2tb one from Ebuyer; there were some cheaper ones on eBay but they...

Hello - the realloc sector count on my 500Gb hard drive is increasing by 2 or 3 each day (it's now at 145), many recordings are now glitchy and running the fix disk doesn't appear to have made any difference. I'm now looking at getting hold of a 2 Tb drive to replace the existing one. Would this...

Thank you for your help. The current pending sector line shows "raw value" as 0 and "value" as 100. I'll dive into the world of Telnet and fix-disk and see what happens. Before I start, is this destructive for the data already on the drive; should I prepare a long USB backup session?

Thank you! Reallocated sector count - 099 Current pending sector (is that the one you meant?) - 100 From the diagnostics report the disc has 5 things marked as "pre-fail" (Raw read error rate, Spin up time, Reallocated sector count, Seek error rate and Spin retry count) and the rest down as...

I can't find the warning with all the details again now since I acknowledged it... is there a log file for it somewhere?

Hello all - I'm reading this thread with interest as for the first time I've had a Disc Pending Sector Count warning this evening. Am interested in buying and installing the Seagate 2Gb drive mentioned above, but being completely non-technical am a bit worried by all the manual partitioning...

Excellent. Thank you for all your work on the custom firmware.

Hello all. After discovering that my machine had been updated OTA I've just installed the latest version of the custom firmware. Now that the new HD channels seem to be recording correctly is the badnts package redundant and should it be removed? Thanks!

Hello everyone. A very informative forum. Does anyone know if there has been official word from Humax about the BBC4HD recording problem? None of my recordings on this channel have been successful (although a quick check with Foxy and a laptop as detailed above shows that the recordings have...
