Hi Mo.
Could you tell us how to replace the hard drives in these TVonics boxes? I
think mine is going back to the RNIB as I'm experiencing regular lock ups
and freezes.
All the best, Ibrahim.

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!
