Hello all,
We've had lots of issues over recent months with our HDR Fox T2 . Constant freezes, failed recordings, unable to delete anything, channels disappearing etc etc.
I had though last week that I had finally cured it by putting it in maintenance mode and formatting the disk (though did have some trouble doing even that - disk too big??)
Anyway, today - its freezing up again. I quick look in the web portal says:
Is this a failing disk? could it be at the root of all of my problems? I'm confident with hardware so is it easy to swap the disk out for another one? does it need to be of a certain size or spec? (I have loads of old ones kicking about the place).
My wife thinks that as christmas is fast approaching, we should just go out and buy a new box but looking at the current line up of kit, i'm not so sure... Nothing seems to have taken things forward or even to be as good as the yummy with the custom firmware.
The free time/freesat one does look tempting but it feels like a bit of a gamble...
Any / all help or advice is appreciated
Cheers
