Today I found that all of the recordings on my FVP-5000T were deleted for no apparent reason. I've checked the settings and saw a an auto-delete setting but it was set to OFF. Obviously this is very annoying and isn't really helping my case to keep the Humax; my wife frequently (and not unreasonably) complains about it, as compared with the Topfield PVR we had, the 5000T is a big step backwards in functionality and a massive step backwards in reliability, with the loss of our recordings being the final straw.
But back to the reason for this post: has anyone had their recordings disappear/all deleted and if so can the recordings be recovered?
I've had the recordings disappear before and switching off the power to the Humax (with it in standby/off mode) usually did the trick to restoring the list of them but this time it seems they're gone for good, especially as tonight's scheduled recordings are now the only recordings on the disk.
Any info or advice most welcomed, thanks in advance
