Hello,
Last night my HR20 froze while recording Boston Legal from my NYC mpeg4 HD locals. It happened between 10 and 10:05 p.m. while it was recording the end of House and the beginning of Boston Legal and we were trying to watch a previously recorded show. The box froze and the yellow recording light stayed on. Instead of resetting right then, we watched (via leapfrog) the other recorded show on our backup SD Phillips Directivo box.
This morning I finally did a reset (the yellow recording light was still on). After the reset I found that House had recorded, but Boston Legal did not. It was only listed in the History as being "Partial".
The problem is that before the freeze up the hard drive had 59% available space, but this morning after the reset it had only 24% available space.
So my questions are these:
What is the explanation for this huge decrease in available disk space?
Do these "partial" and inaccessible recordings continue to take up hard drive space?
Was my HR20 doing a "partial" recording of Boston Legal all night?
Finally, how can I get my disk space back?
Thanks,
Steve
