  • Ok chaps a strange one here!


    Just been to my kids football game and when I left I had a 500gb hard drive inside my Vu Duo full of recordered stuff, Think I just had around 60gb free.


    Upon returning I have discovered to my horror that I now appear to have just under 500 GB of free memory and everything is clear!


    In fact the only 2 files on the hard drive are the movie folder which is empty and a timeshift folder! its as if its had a complete format and reset to a fresh new hard drive!


    Now whilst its damn annoying im left to wonder what happened in the space of 2 hours, the wife has told me the kids were simply watching a kids channel for about 10 minutes and nobody else was in the room.


    So my questions are,


    Has anyone heard on the Vuo Duo self formating its harddrive? Im using open vix, or could my hard drive me on its way out ? Or is it pe*** kids messing with the settings on the duo?


    To be honest I would find it hard to think it was the kids as they would have to get very lucky to format the harddrive in the settings but i guess you cant rule anything out!


    Anyone heard of this before?

  • Never had any issues like that! Have changed images, moved, mounted, unmouted, used on different recevers, and still the HDD is fine. Another possibility is if your receiver is connected to the internet, and you have the wrong ports open and poor security, then it leaves it open for someone else to break in to and cause havoc. Apart from that, could well be your kids!

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....
