      Before I reformat....

      Ezra -- I've tested it and it did a scheduled recording just fine whilst in Standby. There is one catch though, which is one reason I remember I originally got nervous of putting it in standby. If you put it in standby when an external HDD is attached via USB while at the same time the wifi...

      Before I reformat....

      I generally don't put it in standby. I record quite a bit when I am away from the house or late evening when I am asleep. My understanding is that if I put it in standby it will shut down completely after a few minutes and will require rebooting to start up again. I have assumed that it won't...

      Before I reformat....

      I looked through the many thousands of lines of corrections but I only came across one file which was named. It was a programme recording's .ts file. The file seems to play ok on the Humax. I installed smartmontools and ran it over telnet as suggested. I'm not sure how to interpret the output...

      Before I reformat....

      Good news, I think the disk is fully repaired. I can see and play my files on the Humax. The Humax's system menu HDD Test claims the disk is OK and the media list is displaying the free disk space I would expect. It'll take me a while, but do you think for safety I should copy everything off the...

      OK thanks. I'll play it safe and load the official 1.02.29 first and report back once I've run xyz321's instructions

      Before I reformat....

      xyz321 - Thanks of the help. I'm currently on Humax firmware version 1.02.28 and I see that you cannot install CF 2.12 over this (I'm currently on CF 2.11). I just wanted to check that, given the state of my machine, is it ok to go ahead and update the full firmware to 1.02.29 and then do the CF...

      In its current state I can't see anything on the disk with FTP. It's not looking good but maybe a f123/xyz321 can help. Are they likely to see this discussion or do I need to message them directly?
