An update on the current disk full situation. Still have not done the factory reset as still some series to watch.
The box will no longer record past 25% disk full. Could this be an iffy hard drive?
Is there any way of seeing what the HDA model # is without opening the unit up? Wondering if I have a suspect Seagate which maybe needs firmware.
Also, can the existing recordings be copied to a plug-in HDA via the USB then back again once the reformat is done?
Thanks for any help offered.
There a new update available from lunchtime today, so you may as well see if the situation improves when its been installed.

The PVR installed the update automatically sometime today and interestingly the used disk space has gone from 22% this morning to 17% this evening. All recordings still intact, also four half hour SD recordings from this afternoon included in the 17%.
Will keep an eye on the space and update if I find anything. Will be starting to record the F1 and BTCC soon so that will be plenty of disk space consumed!
Update and it’s BAD NEWS.
Recordings have now stopped at 19% disk full. It shows as recording the program but either curtails the program or just shows 0 minutes recorded.
Something is seriously wrong with the disk management or the disk itself. I’m thinking:
1. Duff Disk – but if it is a proper PVR drive then it should ignore errors and carry on.
2. Disk Firmware. Don’t know model of drive, can this be found without opening the box?
3. New software update still has some bug in it regarding disk space.
Anyone on the new firmware gone past 19% on a 1TB box?
Any suggestions welcome.
davidrew – In system settings what is shown as the space distribution?
Have you tried a disk cleanup?
One thought, the problem could originate with the previous firmware. Have you tried a factory reset since updateing the firmware?
I am 18% on a 2TB – should pass 19% in a day or so.

My 2TB currently at 21%.
Thanks for the suggestions.

It’s beginning to look like a corrupt file partition or a failing HDA to me. I’m now thinking I should go for broke and replace the drive with a 2TB, thinking about a WD AV-GP 2TB Internal Hard Drive 3.5 inch SATA 3 GB/s 64MB which has had good reviews.
Has anyone tried hooking up an already formatted 1000S hard drive to a PC to see if any files can be copied off? I am keen to preserve some of the recordings I haven’t watched yet.

Yes – Good Drive. Graham and I use it.
As to hooking up the orice to a PC – forget it – the Video partition is encrypted.
I suspect that reformatting the drive might also solve your problem.

Your HDR-1000s must still be in warranty. Why would you even consider replacing the hard drive yourself? If it is faulty and under warranty then it must be the responsibility of humax or your supplier to repair or replace it.
