Cable Forum - View Single Post - TVDrive says full

jfbuchanan@consu · 18-01-2007, 14:33

I had this problem a while ago with around 20GBytes going walkabout.

I contacted Telewest and they suggested deleting all recorded programs to see if that freed up the space. If it didn't they said they would reformat remotely - although I see we now have on the forum a note on how to do so.

However, none of this was needed. In the middle of deleting the less prized recordings - and in particular some of the older ones - I was suddenly presented with 2 or 3 large 'recovered' segments of recording - all old recordings that I thought I had deleted.

I was able to delete these successfully, and recover my full capacity.

I have had no significant problems since (about 4 or 5 months).
