If you've seen my post yesterday about yellow boxes with circles then you'll know what's happened before.
HOWEVER now all my recordings have disappeared apart from the 3 i recorded last night..,.....and they are taking up 62gb of space. I will leave it to see if it records something at 7pm and if it doesn't then i will reset to default and format the harddrive. Will i have to wait for an OTA if i do this?
If all else fails then its back to Comet as i've only had if for a year. It is the shop i take it back to is it under this new sale of goods act cos i know they are going to say send it back to Humax

I don't see why. What version software are you running?

The software is stored on flash memory, not the hard drive so reformatting will not change the current software version. The only ways to change that are via OTA updates or serial cable uploads.

I had a problem with my humax after 11 months and comet exchanged it no problem.

If you have the receipt i think you should get offered a refund. if you do you can then purchase a brand new one at possibly a cheaper price and your 2 year warranty starts over again.

6)got 362 days left of my guarantee
7) still love my hummy - 2 year guarantee - what lasts longer than a year nowadays
8) everything is working ok as far as recordings at moment
