Hi there,
We've had a Logik Freeview Recorder set box thats done us proud the last 2 years. It can store something crazy like 800 hours worth of stuff and due to having so many films stored on it we only had a few hours space left.
Sunday night it was set to tape the F1, was working fine, came down Monday morning to see "fti" on the box which is first time installation! Have tried turning it off, unplugging aerial for a short time but it keeps coming back to the first time message.
Does this mean I've lost everything from it?
Thanks in advance

Hopefully not, but you may need to remove the hard drive and hook it up to a computer to get at the files.0

Is it a L1HSTB12. "fti" should not clear the HDD but depending on how you set it up it may have deleted some recording to make space for the new recordings.0

Hard drives all die eventually, so if you need the data, get it copied off now before it dies. PVR's aren't intended for long term archiving.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
