      Failing tuner?

      This was the significant part of your quote. You don't need to be actively viewing on the T2. If it is permanently on then one of the tuners is actively connected to a mux - regardless of whether you are looking at it or not.

      Failing tuner?

      I've never used padding so this is just a food-for-thought remark. If watching a programme and the T2 wants to make 2 other recordings on different muxes it puts up a message warning that the watched channel will be changed and sits there a while to let you decide to accept the change or cancel...

      Fair enough!

      Failing tuner?

      If this were the case, might putting a booster between wall socket and T2 improve the situation? OP never mentioned whether the TV aerial feed is passed through the T2 or direct from socket. If it's a pass-through and he adds a booster he might need to switch the TV to a direct connection to...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Just thought I'd round this post off by reporting that the original 2TB disk has now been moved into the replacement T2 without incident - everything working just fine. I used the caddy and fan from the original T2 as the fan was considerably cleaner looking. In fact, my original T2 was far the...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Hi MM and thanks for the nudge - without checking I'm fairly certain you have hit the nail on the head. If memory serves, when I upgraded to the 2TB HDD I copied the existing recordings across in batches as and when I had the time. As I went along I moved the successfully copied files to a...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      A possibility indeed - for this disk - but absolutely not what I was hoping to have to do with the 2TB. It's got approx 1.5TB worth of files on it - that'd take a while to move off and back !

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Noticed something slightly odd last night. The old 1TB disk that I dropped in was still about 90% full of old recordings and this is indeed reflected in the disk icon on screen and in the webif. However, the media list is only showing me the couple of recordings that I made last night - none of...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Yeah, just didn't have the time to go opening up the original T2 for replacement if it went wrong. A job for another day with more time and patience.

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Latest update to my own saga ... Picked up replacement T2 on Saturday afternoon and spent the evening checking/cleaning it inside. Fan was in a horrible state - think maybe it came from a smoking household. Couldn't get the fan blades out with string as described in BH's guide so eventually...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      If removing the disk to a usb caddy didn't work but dis-connecting the internal HDD caddy did wouldn't that suggest that the failure lies in either the HDD power socket on the main board or the connecting cable between socket and HDD? Poor connection being fixed by unplug/re-plug sequence?

      My T2 has died - I think !

      My reference to thorough testing was more to do with following BH's commissioning tests guide and then running normally for a few days with multiple/competing recordings etc. I have just purchased the replacement and will, hopefully, be able to collect it over the weekend. I'll likely run it in...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      I was actually 'scratching around' for just a PSU to buy - but wasn't having any joy!

      Sounding increasingly like I'll be sticking with Trev's advice in post #18.

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Thanks for the reply. Pushed for time or not, I intend to thoroughly test any replacement before I commit to using or swapping parts. Some steps aren't worth skipping - the replacement will get checked then put into use for a day or two to monitor stability before the final decision is made.

      My T2 has died - I think !

      A (perhaps) interesting bit of additional info. While I wait to acquire a replacement I was scratching around and found a very old (2012) posting by xyz321 where he had the same problem and fixed it by multiple-pressing of the front button. Didn't seem to work for anybody else he suggested it to...

      My T2 has died - I think !

      ... meanwhile, back on the original topic, the good news is that my 2TB disk looks to be fine - all recordings present and correct when looked at via Linux Mint. So all I have to do now is secure a replacement and decide whether to go down the disk-swap or PSU-swap route.

      Superb! Fingers-crossed that the disk is not totalled then. Thanks as always - this forum is a godsend (or maybe a geeksend - who cares! :))

      My T2 has died - I think !

      Reading up while I wait to find out if my HDD is intact and I've found a new dilemma - differing PSUs. If BH's guess is correct about the PSU being the fault I would need to buy an older model to have the option of switching PSUs. But, then again, would buying a newer working model be a better...

      Yeah, unfortunately I missed one that went at £42 last night - I'd have been comfortable with that.
