My Eurovox EX5000 does not record anymore since the last update with
UFL EX5000 06-12-08 [Autosort Feature.

I get a message displaying that "Please wait recording is starting".
But there is no recording carried out.
I have some recording on the hard disk from the previous Firmware.

I have tried few times flushing the box with no joy.

If any suggestion I will b every grateful.

Hello HiTeck,

I did exactly as you have suggested and I regret to say that I turned off the box and took the hard drive out and switched on the box.

I then turned off the box and re inserted the hard drive and switched on the box with no joy.

I know the hard drive is working as the recording on it I can play them.

Please any other suggestion will well appreciate.
Thank you.

Make sure the HDD is pushed in all the way and do a factory default including deleting saved recordings powerscan and then try again.

Hello Hi Teck,

I have carried out your instructions by deleting all recordings from the hard drive and restoring to the factory default.
I then powerscan all the channels and tried again and it time worked fine.

I am sure now it is the updated firmware has a bug which causing the recording problems.
I need to re download some other file then UFL EX5000 06-12-08 [Autosort Feature] and will try again.

I hope I will be able to find alternative file.

Thank you for your kind help.

There is an earlier fix here which is without auto-sort so if you use the Fav sort feature it wont work with this firmware and you will have to sort them yourself. Personally I don't think its a firmware problem.

Do you turn your box off at night at the mains or switch at the back if you don't I would suggest you do in future, leaving the box in standby for too long can cause problems with the hard drive when booting out of standby.

Hello Teck,

I have used the early version with the same problems.
It is working with factory default. I now have reloaded the autosort firmware and the hard drive worked but not for long and it just stopped after 7 minutes or so it is just a mystery.

I will from now on switch off from the mains it makes sense as you have suggested.
It is very peculiar the hard drive works fine in factory default mode. I have tested it by recording a film from film4 for more than two hours.

Well thank you so much for your help.
Best regards.
