    I have updated and scanned for channels - works fine. It has a 120gb harddrive in it that came with it - when I record from EPG and go to the pvr menu I cant play it, when I try it just gives a blank screen and wont play. There is no preview of the recording available. If I timeshift, the recording is there but then doesnt work again after a while. Sometimes the recordings just dissapear aswell.

    Anyone hve any ideas for me? I am new to this and only gotthe box for xmas - its great but just wish I could actually record something properly !

    it sounds like somethings wrong with the hard disk although it could be the firmware. try a different hard disk if you get your hands on one just to see.

    I assume I will prob just have to send the hard drive back and hopefully get it changed - just to be sure, what is the latest firmware available - the only thing I have updated it with is UFL_EX5000_Autosort_DarX_01-12-08.

    i think this is the same one here:
    http://www.4shared.com/file/74620863/c2a9b886/UFL_EX5000_with_Autosort_051208.html
    if so it's the latest.

    here's another one too:
    http://www.4shared.com/file/73936434/45ada33/UFL_EX5000_DarX_01-12-08.html
    this one doesn't say autosort
