This follows on from the Green Screen Saga, but looks more terminal.

Last night Hummy & TV were perfect. No green screen tonight either but a message popped up immediately:
"The HDD storage must be formatted to use recording functions. Press OK to go to the Data Storage menu".

At Data Storage selected HDD Test and in just a few seconds got message:
"HDD Test Fail
You may recover the HDD through Format Storage. (Error code : 8)"

This will, no doubt, delete all my recordings. Is there any chance Fix-Disk will resolve it?

It will indeed delete all recordings.

Yes of course. It has helped lots of people in exactly the same situation but because every fault is different there are no guarantees.
