If the box is still the same it may be that you need a new HDD. |

If your unit is out of warranty and you decide to follow Graham's instructions and open your PVR then on this website they have a couple of pictures of what it looks like when you take off the cover. The big black thing on the left is where the HDD is located. You can click on the image to enlarge it. You can also follow the instructions there to replace the HDD should that be necessary - it's quite easy to do. Good luck.
