My 9300T will no longer record a scheduled or current programme, although the temporary Time Shift function still works, as do the other functions I use. The hard drive contains many historical programmes which I can still watch and want, above all, to keep.
Humax offer no practical help for this model but suggested I try reformatting the disk which would, of course delete the stored programmes. They also suggested disk contamination could prevent recording. But the recording function still works with Time Shift which I assume still employs the disk rather than some temporary solid state memory(?)
I am not very knowledgable technically - perhaps the programmes could be copied to a portable hard drive or memory?)and watched elsewhere in case the PVR should be beyond help? At this stage I'm not keen to just assume it is and junk it.
