About this deal
I live in N.Wales which is undergoing transmission problems, but this has been occuring for days now. The hard drive is a relatively modest 160GB, equating to around 100 hours of standard-def TV. Go easy on the season linking because this PVR will fill up fast. OK, I obviously don't understand the theory behind this. If I do a full format using my laptop, then the Humax does it's own, won't that undo any good work the full format has done? Or will it just produce an overlay and the full formats work of ring-fencing bad areas is left in place? The other irritation is the layout of the remote. It has a sliding flap covering several minor controls. Amongst which is the one to call up the recorded programme list. Of course you are rarely going to need that and would much prefer the five button press method involved using the fully visible controls!

We will not accept to exchange or fix a product if the damage was caused directly or indirectly by you. You don't really want a 7200rpm or faster drive as they'll generate more heat and be louder. 5400 or 5900'ish is more than fast enough, go for one with as much cache as possible, which uses as little power as possible and has the longest warranty at the cheapest price. Given that there is a hard limit of 511 recordings , can someone recommend what the best replacement hard drive would be? I believe it needs to also be CE standard. A minor point is the Series Link feature. You can only have this if you also have Accurate Recording switched on. If you decide to use Auto padding (ie start recording a few minutes early and continue past the end) then Series Link is turned off.What a full format will do (that may be helpful) is to map out any marginal sectors; this is done by the disk controller firmware and so is a level below the file system and hence will persist when reformatted.

The upgrades will automatically take place on all PVR-9200T and PVR9300T models on the following dates, as long as they are in standby mode overnight:We recognise this has regrettably caused frustration and problems for some of our PVR-9300T and PVR-9150T users, and in particular those with the older PVR-9200T models." I have had a look on a couple of forums and think that maybe I need to upgrade the firmware, but I don't have any cables.

Under the hood, essentially, you’ll find twin Freeview tuners and 160GB of hard disk drive and this is where the real contest is fought. It is not the biggest of drives, but for those looking to record on an ad hoc basis this is more than adequate, giving you about 100 hours of television recording.
Not sure on lights but basically, green light is on red is off and red light and green light at the same time means it's recording something. I think.
What region are you in? If it's a post-DSO region such as Granada, then the specially arranged update (alternating with the 9300 update) is being broadcast on MuxB, which post-DSO regions no longer carry. If this is your situation you will have to wait until the update is able to be scheduled with DTG on their engineering channel on Mux1, which is carried in all regions. This might be some time, as it looks like there are no slots left for December. I'm suspecting an internal battery may have gone as this seems to fit the behaviour, but I'm surprised upcoming programs would be stored in memory and not on the drive?
