[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 1158168, member: 402329"] I can't say my SF8008 has suffered from crashing when stopping a local HDD record. This seems to me like it's something to do with the drive partitioning. Have you tried installing the NTFS ror exFAT recording extension and trying a drive formatted to either one of those to see if it stops? I used to record to a HDD but me being too lazy these days, I tend to now just open the channel stream via OpenWebif and record using VLC. Saying that, one of the things that does crash my SF8008, no matter what image I use, is streaming really high bitrate 4:2:2 feeds to VLC. Happens every single year when watching the Eurovision Song Contest feeds over VLC, it will work for about 10 minutes and then the stream will just hang and it's because the box has become unresponsive and all I get from it is the spinning icon. I've reached out to Octagon but no luck at all. [/QUOTE]
