    While away at Christmas my 9300T has gone awry! I still have a list of 138 recordings but when accessing the library the thumbnail at the top left is blank! None of the recordings will play. There is 18% available on the disk. I suspect they are still on the harddisk but Humax say I can not get them off! Can anyone help please?
    I think the problem may have been caused by an 'antenna short circuit'. I had an aerial amplifier in the system and when taking the aerial out of the Humax input socket I got a kick and a spark. There was obviously power in the aerial run. Having removed the amlifier the short circuit has disappeared, but the library problem has not changed!

    you will need to remove the HDD from the 9300 and connect to a PC either using a USB-SATA adapter or an external SATA cradle. DO NOT allow the PC to initialise the drive, but use humaxrw (available here (link))in recovery mode to retrieve your files.

    Note: as you probably now realise the 9300 should be off when connecting an aerial amp taking power from it.

    Many thanks, I am not technically minded (70 years of age!) but I have a separate hard drive and will get son in law (a programmer) to give it a go for me. Pete
