    Hi there,

    A week ago the Humax restarted itself and wiped all my recordings.

    When checking the storage, the drive was saying it was 97% full, all down to System Usage.

    Has anybody experienced this as well ?

    Did you find a solution ?

    I’ve rebooted several times but the result is the same.

    I can re-format the drive of course but wanted to ask in case there was a magic way to get my 100s of recordings back.

    I’m also curious how this could have happened in the first place.

    Thanks for your time folks.

    I just had this happen to me this morning. All my recordings had disappeared (93% usage – 55hrs SD remaining). Switched it on and off a few times, still showing no recordings. I checked the drive contents using my laptop, still nothing showing.

    I started the HDD test which apparently should only take a few minutes… 40 minutes later the test was still going. At this point I started to fear the worst. There was no way to stop the test using the remote and could not switch off the machine using the remote ‘power’ button so I just switched the unit off at the plug socket and left it for half an hour.

    I have just switched it back on again and all my recordings are back.

    I am going to have to speed up with watching all the drama series and documentaries I’ve recorded! Luckily I only ever record in SD so I’m copying anything I really don’t want to lose to an external hard drive.

    I’m sorry I don’t have a more technical solution for you but I recommend having a look through the posts here – there is advice on other things you can try.

    I have had that happen to me in the past where the recordings were gone and came back. However in this instance, all my recordings are gone and the drive is full due to system information.

    I did notice a few days before it happened that the TV programme descriptions had got a lot more detailed than before, pages of text instead of a sentence.

    Something must have changed and introduced a bug in the older unsupported players.
