    When watching the play back of a recorded programme on my Humax PVR 9300T, if I press pause in order to do something, when I return to carry on watching it does not play from the paused point, but jumps on to a later point in the programme. Any ideas on why?

    Hi welcome to our forum. Does pause work on live content ?

    Graham. Thank you. It does not pause properly when playing in live. I press pause, but when I come back to the live programme it has leapt forward, rather than from continuing from where I paused.

    The symptoms appear to be a hard disk corruption issue on the area of the disk used for the time shift buffer file. It may be possible to save your recordings by removing the disk and connecting it to a PC (Never had a 9300T but there is software that can save your recordings and replace later).

    You could watch any recordings you want to watch (or copy to usb) and then elect to re-format the hard disk.

    The buffer used for doing this has become corrupt. You can either format as Graham has suggested or connect the hard drive from the 9300 to a PC and use humaxrw with the -D command line option to delete the buffer which will be recreated when the hard drive is back in the Humax.

    Thank you.

    Is there a way to re-format the hard drive without removing it from the machine?

    Yes. The HDD Control menu item in the record menu. Formatting will of course delete all recordings.
