I have a HDR-1000S been working fine for just over 2 years.
Then one day all recordings lost and unit will not record . No HD format option shows up in the the system menu. When I connect a USB stick it does not show up. When I go to storage menu, I just get a message connect some USB storage.
On discussing with Humax favourite seemed to be HDD failure. So I replaced the HDD with same type as original. Seagate 1000 MB . But unit still does not record or have any HDD format options in the system menu. Although I can hear the HDD running.
Looks like something other than the HDD , likely the driver hardware , or could it be a software update problem.
Any ideas welcome, I am close to buying a new satellite PVR unit, but it won't be Humax.
