Hard Drive Upgrade plus hidden menu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
upgrade the hard disk in the unit from 320GB to 1TB with no problems.
Existing drive: Seagate pipeline 320GB
New Drive : Western Digital WD10 EVCS serial ATA.
Upgrade is very striaght forward, fan and HD is held within plastic caddy. Remove caddy screws x 4, then swap drive.
When you power up the unit it detects new drive and asks you to format it, 5 mins later job done.
975GB for video/radio and 25GB for photo/music.
Now you have a bigger drive you can allocate more space to photo/music.
To do this the drive needs to be formatted again, so therefore suggest this is done after upgrade to aviod losing recorded items.
select: menu/system/hdd control
format HDD
select both video/radio and photo/music tick boxes
enter pin
you then get a sliding bar left to right on the hdd allocation, this is simply moved to select the amount you require, select ok, hdd formats again, job done.
I set mine to 50GB for photo/music which should be enough.
Hidden Menu :
menu/system/diagnostics
then
red green yellow blue

Some interesting stuff in here !!!
( be carefull what you select !!)
Finally,
As for bugs ( well not really a bug, more a pain. )
I Set the unit to record the football last night, box gave option to record in SD or HD. Set HD option.
ITV it would appear did not transmit the football in HD only SD, therefore box never recorded anything !!!
One might say that the box is working correctly, it is, however it would have been nice for the recording to drop back to SD as the HD was cancelled.
This will be one to watch out for with future programs.
