Recording Playback Issue Hardrive is always connected to my MicroHD. I record PBS shows on a regular basis and watch them usually with no problem. Every so often(weeks to months interval) the MicroHD can't playback many of the older files. They show up in the DVR menu list but nothing happens...

Audio dropout does happen real-time. Audio goes straight from uHD rcvr to my Panasonic LCD TV via direct HDMI cable.

I checked with my 11 yr old son who's the most proficient of my 4 kids with technology (He may be young but he's usually on the ball with techie stuff.)and who uses the receiver the most.(I don't have much time to watch TV). According to him the audio dropout happens on live TV as well as on the...

Most of my recording are HD PBS programs therefore are typically 1-2GB. How do I suggest I provide them to you?

I routinely get audio dropouts every few minutes when playing back DVR files. My kids are complaining about it. Drive is formatted as FAT32

I hear ya. It does seem odd though that 34 files suddenly have their headers corrupted but appear clean via PC or VideoRedo. Are there any suggestion that could minimize the chance of file/header corruptions eg NTFS vs FAT32. Any benefit to having the MicroHD format the drive as a start?

Thanks for clarification. I put the videos in the newly MHD created file folders on the USB stick. The DVR menu now sees the videos but I get a blue screen when I try to play them. The original USB hard drive is 1TB FAT32. The USB stick used for the test you suggested is NTFS. Firmware...

I moved 4 recordings (4 entire folders) to a USB memory stick: MicroHD's DVR menu screen doesn't see the recordings MicroHD's Video menu screen sees the folders but doesn't see the video files and pressing play just makes the menu bounce to higher level folder

I ran the Check disk options "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". No errors were found. Are you referring to something besides this?

I swapped the drive once when I retired the S9 for the MicroHD which happened around August 2012. Never went back to S9. More detail, if it helps: The corrupted files have all been renamed to the same name as seen on the DVR screen. The file durations appear to be what I expect them to be...

Tried it. No difference

I'm having a problem where 2-3 dozen recordings made by the MicroHD show corrupted names on the DVR screen and play as blank video/audio when I attempt to view them. However, when I take the hard-drive to my PC it sees all the recordings and plays them all properly. New recordings are possible...

Yes, I lost both AJE and Russia Today at the same time as well. Strangely, RiverBroadcasting and Bible Explorations now show up though I couldn't get them before.
