    622 Freezes

    bad sectors Probably beyond my technical skill set...unless there is a software method that does not involve opening the unit. perhaps some utility resident in the dvr itself that can be accessed by commands from the remote? The counters do not suggest HD issues though....

    Guide Dowload Hangs with 622

    I am going to wait until update L448, and if that doesnt fix the issue. Then I will unplug the WD nightly until I can get another HD...but what to buy? It actually feels good to have isolated the problem to the External HD even though it is inconvenient to unplug nightly. Maybe I sill shift...
