I think I may have solved this.

When this has happened recently I have changed to the A/V channel on the tv to another channel, then after a couple of seconds changed it back and the sound has come back.

try this.

Turn off your receiver, remove all your USB devices, then turn on again, and let it boot up.

Turn off your receiver again, then insert your hard drve, then turn on.

Go to device manager and see if it lets you set up the device.

Ensure you are mounting it to HDD not as USB

Hi I tried the above

The receiver had the HDD plugged in from last night but the box was switched off overnight.

So I removed the HDD and turned on the box.

I let it boot and then turned it off again.

Then inserted HDD and let it boot.

Went to device manager and......it crashed

Shit now what.

Should I start again and flash the box again.

I've just grabbed the vix and bh image back ups that ten below created, should I give them a go.

This is doing my head in, all I wanna do is be able to record some stuff :(:(:(

Thanks again

For a lot of my questions I have tried to search but not found answers, maybe I'm using the wrong search criteria

Thanks for your patience

ok now im even more confused :-)

what do you mean by BACKUPS?

i thought every image has to be installed?

sorry send me to a guide or FAQ & ill read up, this is my 1st sat box which is why Ive so many questions

support on here is very good

Disconnect the HDD and hard reset from the image menu, once the image has loaded connect the HDD and reboot, then setup mountpoints and reboot again...

Tenbelow thanks for the advice, it assures me that I'm not going nuts.

Being a noob I assume that flashing and then setting up the box using a vix image is the same as a bh image.

If I were to do that which image would you recommend. I got my box with the Bh image so don't know any different

Thanks I'll try that
Couple of questions.

When turning off do you mean from the mains rather than just standby.

When trying to mount I'm just going into device manager and trying to mount so didn't know if it's possible to mount to USB over HDD

I think I did try this earlier but happy to try again.

Could I have got the box in a mess by leaving the HDD connected while doing a hard reset from the menu

guys any ideas? im going nuts with this

No I don't get that I just get the screen to show the plug in is available to download I click green but don't get a message to say it completed or to restart the GUI.

I have tried media player deluxe, airplayer, imdb permanent timeshift plus a few others but none have appeared.

Looked at files on box and none are there so I'm stuck

Thanks
Checked again and still nothing.

To confirm what I a.m. doing.

I go into the add-on manager, choose the add-on, select to download it then restarted GUI.

Then went back to plug in and didn't see anything

Guys did the manual scan and the channel is now back thanks for your help and apologies for the noob questions

Guys need some help again as this issue has come back.

I just installed Bh1.7.8 to solve the issues I was having.

After installing I was able to go into device manager, and then set up mountpoints. Tested recording and that worked great too.

Later that evening I went to install somesplugins and after installing them I did 2 things I did a restart GUI amd then did a hard reset both from the menu. Neither of these brought up the plugin so I posted a question about them last night.

Today I've tried to record and getting same errors as before.
No HDD found
When trying to initialize HDD get error creating partition.
When going into device manager now it crashes and reboots.
When trying to use USB format wizard I get permission denied and it doesn't create the partitions.

What have I done wrong.

When doing a hard reset should I have unplugged the HDD first.

Your help is much appreciated

Bart

Just cgecked they r nit in the location. What am i doing wrong

Any ideas

Ive just instaleed a few plugins from the addon manager
Done a hard reset and still dont see the plugins in the plugins menu

Also whsre can i get the vlc plug in

not taken the plunge yet to reflash

noticed something odd whihc may account for the issues with the box trying to create a partition

when i go to media player i see

internal flash
storage device
storage device (partition 5)

dont know what the storage device partition 5 refers to, almost as if its retain some legacy info from a previous attempt at partitioning a hard drive or a recording

any ideas
