Can anyone help with aToshiba RD-XV45KB HDD/DVD/VCR Multi-unit, HDD recording problem?

Question

For the past couple of weeks I have been unable to watch a programme from the beginning while it is still recording and now, the hard drive says I only have 14 mins recording time left, even though I have about 50 hours in SP. Deleting progs already recorded makes no difference. Any ideas please?

Answer 1

try unplugging the unit for about an hour,plug it back in and try again,sometimes dvr's can get a little confused when left on for a long time. just try leaving a windows pc on for a month and you'll see what i mean. things start going weird at about a week on a pc,a little less severe on a dvr.
