i am having the same problem had my sv4 for a week then all my chanels went blocky and corrupted contacted my suplier - who fobed me off with "it's a software problem" so i am at the moment trying to get a replacement unit because i think it is a faulty tuner - i will keep you all posted on the outcome

I think we both have same problem.I also contact my supplier he said the same thing.It might be down to software.if I got any news i keep u up to date.

First of.. great forum.. loads of help!

I got a SV4 a few weeks back and think it's great, however a few days ago I noticed the picture has got worse, very "liney" if thats a word??!

Just downloaded v1.05 so will see if that improves it.

As for the Hard drive, I just use a USB pen and have no problems recording and playing back. I read somewhere, upto 250GB hard drives should be ok, any bigger draws too much power.

why in your notion would a hard drive any bigger than 250gb require more power?

[satsmo]

Its to do with the power drawn from the USB port.

up till now i have not received my replacement box i have emailed my supplier but have not had a reply yet

[scjgreen]

without trying to sound like a dick, its a load of rubbish

Charts, benchmarks 2.5" Hard Drive Charts, Maximum Power Consumption (http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2-5-hard-drive-charts/Maximum-Power-Consumption,684.html)

note some 100GB drives using more power than 320GB drives etc

[satsmo]

The information is generic what I have said is based on the tests carried out on the SV4.

[scjgreen]

OK i think it will be less down to power consumption and more down to limitations of FAT32 to be honest...

I'll try my 500GB mains powered drive in a bit and see if it works

[shami232]

I am still trying to convince him its a faulty box.But also I am waiting for your box to come if it works fine so its definately box.somebody advise me that I might have got signal strength problem and I need to try the signal booster.I am willing to buy one but want to make sure it will resolve my problem
