Should I be looking for a new drive?

My dads T2, bought new and with original HDD still, has done this twice now.
First time 2 months ago. A fix-disk run made it go away. But it’s emailed me again this morning with some sector error.
Will run fix-disk once I can login. But should I be making arrangements for a new drive?

Any advice welcome.

No, just run the fix-disk procedure again. It seems like you've just had a couple of marginal sectors.
 
I am still using my original hard disk that has suffered a few bad sectors over the years and it has outlived the original Humax.
Only start to worry if the number of bad sectors increases rapidly
 
Thank you both for the advice and reassurance.

I wouldn’t be able to visit my parents till Christmas and they NEED their 3 HDR Fox-T2’s.
They’re not addicted.
They could give up any time.
They just don’t want to.
