I recently bought, via an established internet company, Humax FoxSAT-HDR HD FreeSat+ PVR 1TB. My questions are:
How do you know it has 1 TB? I can’t see anything on the equipment itself.
Is it possible to see total capacity in menu somewhere ?
Go into the File Manager and follow your nose.
You can’t see the capacity in the menus. Easiest way to tell is the percentage of hard disc space used by HD recordings. Once you have accumulated around say 10 hrs of HD recordings check the free space. For a 1TB the used space will be about 4-5%, double that on a 500GB model.

Not in front of my unit at the moment, but does not the HDD Control in System menu give an indication of HDD space.

Oh dear, as part of the installation set up and not knowing any different, I did say yes to formatting HDD, not sure what that meant, can it be unformatted, I doubt it?
If you had no existing recordings it makes no difference (as you say you can’t undo it). While you are reading this it would be worth selecting to format both partitions and use the slider to reduce the music/photo partition to it’s minimum size of 1GB (assuming you are not intending to upload loads of photos and jpeg photos, these can be replayed from a isb disc anyway). This gives the maximum space for recording TV.

Yes your instructions worked, it is a 1 TB – many thanks for your help. I will look into into adjusting maximum space for recording TV. Thanks again for all comments.
