[QUOTE="RandyHuggins75, post: 1133248, member: 416532"] Hi All, I’m hoping that somebody might be able to help me with my [B]Arris Freesat UHD-4X-500?[/B] I’ve had this Freesat box since March last year so it’s well out of warranty. Yesterday I kept getting a hard drive warning whenever it was switched on, I followed the instructions & deleted the recordings on the hard drive/reset the box without success numerous times. At first I thought it was down to the very hot weather, but after looking into it I would have seen a warning message & the shutting down of the box which never happened. It lived on the sideboard with nothing blocking the vents & nothing placed above/below the box. I then opened the box to check the cables & connections with the same results. I’ve noticed that the hard drive was not spinning up so decided to hook it up to my PC via a hub & came to the conclusion that the HD was as dead as a Dodo! So, my question is, if I was to get hold of another 500 or 1000GB HD would I be able to swap the drives out & if so, would it work? Would I need to format it as exFat or NTFS? Or would the box recognise the new HD? Cheers in advance! Keith (Randy!) [/QUOTE]
