We are having a few issues with our S/A 8300HD DVR. One issue is that it freezes up during playback. Then, when I go to the "recorded list" it shows a list of all of the stored programming but shows "0%" recorded. If I attempt to access anything on the list I get "(recorded show) is not available at this time." If I then unplug the unit and re-intialize the system, everything comes back and it shows 81% of the recording space is used. I then play back a program and at some point, the show freezes again. When I repeat the previous re-intializing procedure, the unit fires up but makes noises that resemble beebees falling into an empty sardine can before it freezes up again.
Questions are:
Is the hard drive going kaput?
Can I retrieve the saved programming either to an external drive or to my DVD recorder before I exchange it?
Can my local Brighthouse outlet pull the shows off and transfer them to the replacement DVR?
