!8 months ago my Foxsat-HDR refused to delete one or two files. I reformatted the disc then did factory reset. All was well until last week, same problem, certain files would not delete. Again I have reformatted the disc and then factory reset. Now it will not delete any files, takes ages to boot up and refuses to record some items but not others. I have tried a second reformat and reset but problem not solved. Sound like a hardware problem??

Think I would try the custom firmware (version 4.0.9 is the latest) and use the diskfix utility - sounds like hard disk problems.

Hi again. I have loaded version 4.0.9 successfully and on boot up it shows the new firmware is in use but that is as far as it will go. I have tried all ways I can think to make it reboot to no avail. Methinks the hard drive is caput?

Firstly look in the settings - Diag > Network and note the HDR's IP address.
Next using Windows open a command window (or run cmd.exe) and ping the IP address.
This should confirm network connectivity.
Now try and open a telnet session with the HDR. (You may have to enable the telnet client via the control panel > Programs and features)
If you manage this them follow the disk-fix instructions.| Sun 13 Jan 2013 17:36:48 #5 | -
Thanks I have written this down to try later. In the meantime I have removed the HD this morning to see if it will boot up and it does....tend to think new HD!

Can I add a similar query please? I have a FOXSATHDR Ref. 26408 (2009), with System ID 3768.0000, current S/W version HPRSFC1 1.00.21
Some of the files on my HDD are possibly corrupted, having a blue ikon on the RHS that looks like a torn piece of paper?, and I cannot delete them without causing a distrous chain of events! The system locks up and the media display is blank, and cannot change channel etc. So, I have to go through the rest procedure of switch off, remove aerials, and switch back on, and if successful then switch off/restore aerials/switch on (& sometimes if not successful I have to return to factory reset. It's a pain of course, so I avoid touching the files! Is there any other safe way of deleting the files in question?

Greystones - The custom firmware provides a web interface where you can view (and delete) recordings.

Thanks, Repassac, for your prompt reply. Would you kindly expand your guidance for someone not as gifted as you? How do I access it and does it then tell me what to do, please?
Can I pick your brains on this too, please? A few other files are prevented from being copied to my external HDD & thus have to remain on my PVR HDD (sometimes because it failed on the first occasion, and as you know cannot be re-copied). Does the interface also allow one to do this as well?
