MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
It's a good few years old now and I reckon the HDD is on its way out. I've managed to do a "format" but the box is still requiring around 2 minutes between keypresses which is clearly pesky.
Couple of options:
1) Buy a new HDD - any recommendations? I believe that you need to have a specific type ideally that is quieter or something?
2) I could stick in one of the four HDDs I have on the shelf upstairs and see what happens. They will all be formatted for a PC so don't know if that's a Bad Thing...
Any thoughts? Advice??
buy a new foxsat pvr from me £209+ vat.
That'll be option 3) then, which is, I'm afraid, significantly more expensive than 1) or 2) 😉
Just lob in one of your matching-type drives and see how you get on with it. While you're in there clean the heatsinks and fan while touching the case at all times (static protection).

I *think* that you can just put another disk in - cost/benefit wise I would get a 500 Gb IDE disk and throw that in - it'll be a nice, new fresh drive and it will give you a significant increase in capacity.

Just tried putting in a spare HDD and it was behaving in the same way as before so am deducing it's not the HDD. Hence consideration of option 3) 😉
