My Humax HB1000S is five years old and I've never had a problem with recording on the external usb I have with it. However, yesterday it just wasn't there, it comes up with a message 'recordings not available, you need to connect a usb hard drive to your box'.
I have tried power off, unplugging, restarting and even another drive but I'm always given the same message.
Has anyone got any ideas or experiences of this? Thought I would ask before scrapping the box, if that is the problem.

See if the external USB drive is seen by a PC.
Is the drive powered or not?

I have tried the external drive in a PC and it is recognized and usable. It isn't powered independently.
