Was working fine until yesterday, 2tb hard drive seagate mains powered ntfs format. Also won't download epg update to it anymore? Should I re format it?

I have had the limit error once or twice in the past. I just unplugged the hard drive from the box & plugged it in again & it worked.

A week or 2 ago I couldn't update the EPG, so I connected the drive to my pc to have a look. I deleted the 2 files, 21.fci & 21.fpg. When reconnected to the box, the EPG updated.

I can only assume that one of the 2 files had corrupted, stopping the update.

Managed to get it working, copied files from usb stick to hard drive and seems to work. Only thing different is I haven't installed files for picon. Maybe they were causing conflict?
