They'll be on their own as soon as they open it, they wouldn't have to break it. The only people allowed to service the unit will be those qualified people authorised by the granters of the warrantee.

Eleanor, maybe, but if they break the box while trying to do this they'll be 
on their own.
Cheers

agreed Alex but I have a feeling that these people are wanting to replace
with larger and better drives.

The onus should be on the RNIB to replace faulty hard drives, not us.

Well that is not a good start for TVonics now in Administration, if people 
are going to have to start replacing their hard drives within one or two
months of obtaining the equipment.

Hello Carol.

This is probably due to a failing hard drive. The hard drives used in
these machines were cheap hitachi drives, i've already had one behaving
strangely. My box wouldn't offer me the option to format or to record. I
have replaced the hard drive in the unit with a better drive made by
seagate, formatted it and have had no further problems, no crashes, etc.
Because the voice runs from the hard drive, if there are any errors on
the
drive or if its failing, it can cause you to experience crashes/freezing. 
I can replace the drive for you if you wish, please contact me off list
and we can go from there. I'd recommend it to be honest, because if you
do



a lot of recording and the drive fails it would've been pointless you
recording all those tv shows to watch later!

all the best,

Mo.

Hi all,

We have a fairly regular saying at home which is "Amy's on strike".
This



simply means that she fails to speak, often after booting up, when we
first go to use her.  Of course, we find ways round, sometimes needing
to



reboot the box again;  but I wonder if anyone else is finding this
problem and if you have a better solution than a bit of hit and miss
and,



finally, if you've concluded what's going on and why!
