Usually I'm the one that maintains my Hummy and regularly delete my Wifes bad practice of 'Series record' with hours of programmes never watched.
This week she decided to delete her unwanted recordings herself, entered a folder for a series, hit 'Select All', then Option 'delete'. The whole lot has gone, no photos, no recorded programs, no home videos. Had she have stepped up a folder level, she would have seen every recorded program marked for deletion. I'm sure only the file pointers have been deleted from the HDD, because it would have taken hours to 'wipe' the 500Gb of saved recordings.
What surprised me was how easy it was for her using the colour select buttons on the remote to wipe the lot with no popup warning to say 'You are about to erase many recordings, do you really want to do this?
I have an older version of custom firmware installed. I've already tried to restore EXT3(?) files using Sysinternals Windows EXT3 recovery App, but it finds nothing significant to recover and I don't want to spend more time trying to restore using Linux apps, so I have to accept it's all gone!
Now I've updated the custom firmware to v3.13 and will install the undelete package. I've found a huge list of custom packages references on the Wiki, but it's been a long time since I used custom features. How do I access or install these, I can't see any modifications offering options using the normal Humax remote control menus?
Many thanks.
