Hi all,
Had my box changed yesterday as it had got progressivly worse over the months. Recorded programs seizing, locking up, split in half, horizontally pixilating etc. (that just not on when you wanna watch the next episode of dexter).
Anyway, the sky engineer came in, took one look at how much hard drive space was left (27 %) and said " I know exactly what the problem is due to how much space you have left on the hard drive, its hard drive failure".
According to the engineer he reccomend that you keep the free space on the drive above 50%. Or it will slowly deteriorate. (due to programs continously being recorded and deleted, and having such low space left on the drive it starts to play up when there's hardly any space left and becomes corrupt, and would need to be defragged too) ??
So does this mean you can't use your full capacity of your disk space if you want to keep the box reliable?
Also I mentioned the SATA port on the back of the box and he said it's something Sky will be adding on soon. A plug in bigger Hard Drive? Anyone tried to Plug a drive into the SATA slot?
