I have mine set to off, but I couldn't remember if it was on or off by default, or whether I had changed it.

But not added to the manual.
I don't think that the manual has been updated at all, apart from the pvr supplement being released for an earlier still pvr function firmware release.
Only if you have already installed the undelete package.Don't suppose there's a recycle bin is there?

Fixed. Thanks Ezra.

Thanks, but all that's in there now is recordings that I've deleted since I installed the undelete package.
You could try installing firmware version 1.01.09, this was the last version before the Auto Delete function was added, so it should certainly stop the delete loop. I seem to recall that this has worked for people in the past who had a similar problem, although you would lose the TV Portal and a few other things. You could then try upgrading back to the latest version.

Something similar has happenned again. This time I had *Deleting ... in the media window after deleteing a recording we had just watched, but nothing appeared to be being deleted, fortunately. Box wouldn't shutdown though via the remote.
I telnet'ed onto the box and issued a "reboot" command. When the box came back up, the *Deleting ... had gone, and I was able to shutdown the box with the remote as normal and all my recordings were still there.
I'm running the Custom Firmware, webif, undelete, auto-unprotect, red-ring

You should run the disc repair option from maintenance mode. Quick Guide to Disk Recovery (click)

Hi there,
I have the same problem regarding continuous delete. This happened some time ago but I didn't know about this site, so I bought a HDR 2000T as a replacement and the noise it makes is driving me mad, plus there's no bookmark facility, so I would like to get the old one working again. I'm not worried about saving old recordings - in fact I tried to delete them so that I could format the disc, but they just stay there, and I can't get into Settings because it's greyed out. Is there any way I can do a factory reset?
Thanks

The best way to sort it out is to install the custom firmware which has a capability to fix many (but not all) hard drive problems and file system corruption problems.

Apologies - that wasn't very clear. I meant that I downloaded Humax firmware 1.01.09 as per the instructions on this site for dealing with the destructive delete problem and tried several times to install it. I tried both USB ports several times but it would not install. The Humax remains in "delete" mode, although nothing has actually been deleted. I can watch all of the recordings. I can also watch live tv. What I cannot do is get into the Settings section to format the disc or retune the stations because it is greyed out. Which is why I asked if replacing the hard disc would solve the problem (the destructive delete problem, not the firmware installation)
You have not installed the custom firmware. Start reading at http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Custom_Firmware_Overview what you need is to run fix-disk which can be done when the initial installation of the custom firmware is done.

Just ignore all that old junk and install the modern stuff: http://hpkg.tv/rpc/cfwget.html?file=HDR_FOX_T2_1.03.12_mod_3.10.zip
Yes, it will, but there is probably nothing wrong with the disk that a modern custom firmware can't fix, so changing it is a pointless waste of time and money.
