Disappearing recordings and other Foxsat-HDR problems
My Humax Foxsat-HDR has started to behave strangely over the last couple of weeks:
- The HDD recordings list sometimes shows as completely empty, and does not recover until a reboot - I am unable to delete a recording, or the folder in which it's stored - I get the error messase "cannot delete due to file restrictions" - Scheduled recordings are randomly being ignored (i.e. not recorded). I'm running the latest Humax software 1.0.21, and have had a Samsung 2Tb drive in the machine for a couple of years without any problems. I notice from this forum that others have had similar problems in the past, but have not found anybody who has diagnosed or resolved it. Does anyone have any more insight into what causes these sorts of problems? |

My suspicion would be either a corrupt file system or failing hard drive.

I've now done the following and the problems remain:
- Removed drive and run Spinrite on it to check for disk errors (level 2) - Run fsck (in Ubuntu) to check/repair file consistency - Humax factory reset. ??? |

First time around it found a long list of things - media errors, etc. I had it set to auto-fix everything it found. 2nd time it found nothing.

I managed to use the manufacturer's diagnostic tools to map out the bad sectors and it's been OK for the couple of months since. |

For what it's worth, I had similar problems with recording list showing empty. It was suggested that the hard drive might be failing. I reformatted the drive and since then have not had any problems.
