I have just fitted a new 1TB HDD into my new HDR. The drive came with a warning that it was an 'Advance Format' drive and recommended that I visited the WD website to download a program to format it or some such thing. I assumed that this was something to do with Microsoft Windows and didn't do anything about it.
In the end I just installed it in the HDR and formatted it via the Humax menu.
Should I have done it differently? Indeed, is it worth taking it back out and running the Advance formatting utility at all?
I ask because some of my recordings fail. The file's thumbnail has a lightening flash through it and when I select play, I get a warning that the recording is incomplete due to power failure. I know for a fact that no power failure occurred. The file does play without a hitch but is, as the message says, shorter than it should be.
It happens randomly and on different channels, BBC One, Two, Channel 4 etc...
Could it be related to this HDD?
I do not have auto decrypt enabled either.
Any advice would be appreciated.
BTW I am aware that I have invalidated the warranty, but managed to remove the cover without damaging the tamper seal.
