    Hi, since the upgrade on 9th Nov (i am in Eastern Region) I retuned my 9200T humax box. Channels ok - but none of my recordings will play - they show in the list, but when I press play there is a short delay then black screen. 19% free on HDD so they are there. Then can't get back to live tv as black screen persists - despite the channel info bar showing. Have to turn box off using remote button and back on. Have tried turning off at mains - checked software update - but that is ok. One very strange thing is that a recording done on 27/10/2011 which was watched last week and not deleted, does play - but other also watched recordings do not.

    Any suggestions please, very welcome. Thank you.

    Hard to be sure but my best guess would be that the file system is corrupt; the fix is to format the drive from the HDD control menu but this will of course delete your recordings. I suggest wait and see if anybody else has a less destructive suggestion.
