Hi
Hope someone is able to advise me, I have a HDR-Fox T2/GB/1TB bought in September 2013 from humax direct as a refurb model. Chosen with the hope of being able copy recording off to watch on my phone/hudl on the train to work.
Mostly the box has done everything i wanted except every now and then it starts beeping it is quite high pitched noise and impossible to ignore and continue watching, the box is sluggish to respond to the remote, but live tv is fine at this point.
When I got the unit it came with 1.03.06 it wasn't clear if it could be replaced with a custom firmware. So 4 months later and wanting some to get some idea what is causing this noise and also being able to copy off the recordings in case I have to send it back, I've upgraded to the 1.03.11 mod 2.22 unfortunately the beeping continues.

Disk offline sector count is: 1
Disk realloc sector count is increasing steadily, the other messages are new today.
I've telnet'd in and run disk tests a few times, nothing interesting as the result.
Is it as case that I need to send it back or does anyone have any ideas?
I'm quite comfortable with linux and replacing hardware if need be, but at the moment my warranty sticker is still in tact.
Has anyone had similar problems, what to do?
