Is this the HDD to buy for a 5402 M2?

Not sure if this is any help but I had a lot of problems with 1TB disk upgrades in Anstrad DRX-890 Sky boxes (recordings on HD channels freezing for several seconds). They were solved by using "Seagate Pipeline HD 1 TB,Internal,5900 RPM,3.5" (ST31000322CS) Hard Drive". Obviously this is designed as an internal SATA drive, but they may do an equivalent USB drive or it may be possible to use it with a USB-SATA adapter.

Whilst we are on the subject of recording, can you try something please? Set a timer recording, and check to see if it recorded ok. But before playing back, put the receiver on a different channel to that you've just recorded. I'm having issues with latest patch on M1's. Thx.

Hi Trev,

I noticed this the other day, I didn't realise it could be overcome by switching to the recorded channel though......strange, but glad it works.
