Missing percent free on HD - Sky+

Redspooks · 09-11-2009, 18:40

Amstrad SKY + Dolby DV3

The 80gb hard-drive is showing 72% free, but I only have recorded programmes on it totalling 11%, is the missing % taken up with installed hardware/software? I have nothing copied or saved, just 5 programmes to view.

I have had a brief search through the forum but can't find an answer about this.

First go into planner view of your recordings
Press "Right arrow"
Press "Yellow"
Press "Right arrow"
If any entries are showing "Failed" then highlight each in turn and delete by pressing "Yellow"

Second do a "Sky planner rebuild"
Press "Services"
Press "4" "0" "1" "Select" - this takes you to the hidden Installers Setup menu. Planner rebuild is option 7 and should not harm/delete any that are not already corrupt and probably unplayable

Cheers for that, will reset once we've watched the few programmes recorded on it.

We had this on our sky plus box and a planner rebuild seemed to sort it

Will definitely give it a go then, thanks.
