Why Does It Keep Saying My Hard Drive Is Corrupted ......

for the 3rd time this week, when i start watching something I have recorded, it stops about 5 mins into it and says that the hard drive has been corrupted and I have to delete everything. I have done that twice this week and I am tired of losing the shows I like to watch and have to record. How can I keep from deleting everything I have recorded and quit having to reprogram?????

Hello! This can definitely be a frustrating issue. When the hard drive is corrupted, normally a replacement is needed. You can try this before that step is jumped to. Try to unplug the receiver from the power source for 10 seconds, then let it reboot. If that does not work, I can help you further. You can email me at [email protected]
