See my post No. 8:- http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1830925

Reasons for changing drive:-
1. Missed recordings every week.
2. Erratic/missing sound when a recording is played back. This clears after 20 seconds or so.
3. 6 years + of daily use.
4. Cheap replacement <£8.
My problem is that the Hummy with the new drive missed the very first timed recording last night. Machine successfully ran up but no recording made. The next recording went OK.

Full manual retune today I think.

Other suggestions welcome

Its funny cos the last week or 2 my 9200 has just started to randomly miss scheduled recordings also, Never had a problem before......

My girls have got my 9200T in their room and they've also started moaning that Hollyoaks has failed to record recently too.

Manual retune carried out deleting all unwanted TV channels before saving each of the 5 transmitter channels for Rowridge. Obviously deleted all the current TV and radio channels before starting the retune.

I use a digital camera to photograph the schedules to make them easier to restore after tuning.
We will se how it goes.
