    Storage device "help"

    Hi can anyone advise me, I have a dm800se with hdd installed, running newnigma2 image.
    I'm going into cross epg I configure my storage device from internal flash (unsuggested) to hard disk, but when I leave in standby over night next day, storage device changes back from hard disk to internal flash, needs reboot to change back, on changes over in standby mode, over night.
    Any help or suggestions pls to keep it on hard disk and to stop jumping over to internal.

      its a problem with hard drives being in standby, i find it better to either not use automatic update or use a usb stick and load epg to that. thats the option ive gone for (usb)

              No it never worked it flipped back to internal flash, I set storage on to USB now like nush advised, see how that goes,
              if I turn of automatic updates, won't that stop cool TV guide from working altogether well updating & be of no use.
              I remember on my last box using internal flash after few months green screened, guide stopped wrking
              Hopefully USB will do the trick.

                narrr usb i tried and it also flipped back to internal flash, if i turned of the auto update what would happen then ?
                been advised to turn it off to stop it using internal memory, but isnt an update needed for the guide ?

                    which auto update you talking bout rob, the one that downloads the epg is in the cross epg menu called "schedule at" or summit like that

                      Yes that 1 the cool tv guide it's working fine the guide is there, the problem I'm aving is
                      In cross epg storage device is set on internal flash (unsuggested) I change it over to hard disk but it keeps flipping back to internal, I think it changes back
                      At 04:45 when my auto update is set

                      My last box ended up using internal memory few mths later guide stopped wrking green screened.
                      So I'm just trying to avoid it happening on this box & image it's a decent image
                      Just trying all diff ways to stop it flipping back to internal wen in standby, eventually it will green screen so then I will reflash.

                        remember reading a thread somewhere were image had a bug in that did exactly as you describe, my advice would be to reflash a different image, 2 of the most solid reliable don't-cock-up images I have found for the 800se-sim2 are nemesis and pli

                          When this stops recording or loses its epg I will then re flash with openpli
                          See what that image is like with hdd
                          I have been told newnigma worked flawlessly with hdd
                          Southpaw if I keep turning back in cross epg storage device from internal back to hard disk every couple days would this stop using all memory up.

                            you gotta try avoid that internal flash shit mate, its like having a prog using all your memory in windoze, it will run shit and will eventually give up struggling. pli is good for hdd , recognizes it aN no user input required , fresh daily build available at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9860949/dm800se/dm800se.html (FOR DM800SE WITH SIM2 ONLY)
