  I added the +setsynopsis option to hmt (well, technically, ported it from the HDR Fox-T2 CFW) in order to handle non-Freesat channel recordings better. If you install the rs package (Remote Scheduling) and schedule Channel 4 HD (and other non-Freesat channel) recordings via the Remote...

  Based on what is readable the box is definitely struggling with this HDD. Whether this is owing to HW issues on the box itself as Black Hole has suggested or issues with the HDD itself is difficult to say. How much time and money are you willing to spend trying to fix this? If you have an...

  Sounds like a dodgy HDD, how large is it? I might have a limited, beta release of a tool that exposes some of the HDD's SMART information but not sure how helpful that is if the situation is so bad that fix-disk fails. You can also try the following on the box: touch /opt/etc/.SYSLOG_ENABLE...

  Foxsat HDR set time through Telnet
  
  If the box is connected to a dish and has a working Freesat connection the Housekeeper boot at 03:00 should set the time, unless the box is recording at that time. If you want to manually set the time, try the following: date -s "2019-06-28 08:19:21" with the appropriate date and time.
