@Brit49er 

Were you nearing full capacity or do you mean 90% of what you'd recorded? 

[Brit49er]

90% of recordings........had plenty of space left....

Have you tried a reboot of your box? Let us know if you don't know how to do it.

hi @Brit49er 

I suggest you try a full power down restart

Use the remote to place it into standby mode

 Then remove the power to it (either switch off at mains or remove the power plug)

 Wait at least 30s

 Then re-apply the power & wait for it to fully restart - this may take a few minutes.

[Brit49er]

Yes rebooted box.......nothing!!

[Brit49er]

I guess I've lost them then.............great!!😡

The hard drive is not a permanent archiving medium.  What sort of 'recordings' where they as some are subject to licence terms and will expire automatically.

[Chodley]

Yeah suspect this was most likely license expiry.

It feels like recordings are a personal permanent archive but the rights holders changed that a few years back.

OR the hard drive is on its way out.
