and then
1) PRESS the HOME Button.
2) PRESS and HOLD PLAY button for about 5 secs. E-00 will appear in the display on front of V+box.
3) PRESS T.v Drive or V+ button. E-01 will appear.
4) PRESS CH - button 4 times. as you do Hdd1 - Hdd2 -Hdd3 - Hdd4 will appear.
Reformating your harddrive will start rFT will appear in the window.
the process with pressing the buttons needs to be done in quick time.
The process should take 5 -8 mins depending on how much information is stored on the harddrive.
It's worth pointing out that doing this will break the VM T&C's of your service.
