Re: Humax PVR 9300T
Very interesting what you guys are saying… clearly I've the same problem, assuming it was a Read error during playback. My thinking was, as the skipping and sound synchronisation went away instantly following a short rewind there must be an issue keeping on “track” with my ageing hard drive. I've tried formatting – no use, and reducing the number of recordings to one or two – still no use however it did seem worse on certain programs but I had put this down to my imagination!
Recently I've inherited the exact same model from my farther who’d barley used his device. However his had a different problem whereby the picture, after a while of operation, would become broken by a mesh of vertical purple lines, I’m assuming this to be a motherboard component partly failing.
Ah Ah I thought, cracked it! – Swap the drives over – As you've probably guessed, by me writing here, the problem still persists with a virtually brand new drive! Hence the trawl to see if a solution exists.
Unfortunately I'm forced to conclude one of three possible causes is the culprit.
1. There’s a motherboard fault, say a buffering issue.
2. There’s a software bug.
3. There’s something in the program ID which skewing things for a moment during playback.
One thing is for sure; the fault only showed itself a few months ago and as my machines given me over 3 years of flawless operation I'm deeply suspicious of outside influences especially as others are experiencing the same problems.
Let me know how you get on but don’t waste your money on new hard drives…..
