After recording over night, I turned the system on in the morning and it said 'Critical' on the red thermometer/disc space graphic. So i went about deleting a number of films to free up some space.
Problem: I now have only 20hrs of material left recorded - yet it is still claiming my disc is nearly full. I have lost appoximately 50+ hrs of disk space.
I have telephoned Telewest to see if they can help and they say I may need to reformat - which will mean losing all my prize recordings!!
Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone help?
Thanks

So much for the prized tv drive!
Whats the point in having something if you cannot optimise its supposed capability? without having to lose everything you have recorded onto the drive?
I dont think anyone can help aside from what you have already been advised, and if it happens again I would be taking my custom elsewhere.

Have not heard that one, " planner rebuild "
Peoples experience with the tv drive seems to suggest otherwise !
