My year old Humax has suddenly stopped recording programs, including paused programs. Existing recorded programs play without any errors and live programs still play thru the box. The 1TB HDD is only 1/3rd full.

My year old Humax has suddenly stopped recording programs, including paused programs. Existing recorded programs play without any errors and live programs still play thru the box. The 1TB HDD is only 1/3rd full.At a guess the recording partition has been marked read only because of a problem with the disk or the file system. Your options are:
Copy off any important recordings to an attached USB drive and then format the drive.
Install the custom firmware and run fix-disk which has a good chance of sorting out the problem with no need to copy things off.
Contact Humax support (who I suspect will want you to format the drive).
One other thing you could try is running the built in HDD Test (Menu button then Settings>System>Data Storage>HDD Test). This will run a non destructive test on the hard drive and may give a clue as to what is wrong. It has been reported that recent standard firmware versions do contain a disk repair tool (a bit like fix-disk in the custom firmware) but I have not seen any reports on how it is accessed or anybody having used it. Let us know how you get on.
