external HDD

[gdhkr]

I have a powered drive ! Will this be causing any problems with the vu+duo ? I am getting a lot of crashing At the moment and all I can put it down to is the HDD. My box is set up the same as my nephew who is having no problems at all but he as got a USB powered HDD. I have sent all the crash logs off but no reply yet !

i would have thought that an External Hard Drive with it's own power supply would be more reliable than one powered from the USB port, because it will run off a constant voltage and not be reliant on the USB power supplied by the box, if you know what i mean

also every time it reboots it says time shift not possible. On a few occasions I have to turn the box off. Trying to get to the bottom of all the crashes!

What is the timeshift location?

What is the time delay before TimeShift starts automatically? Try and increase the delay. 1 minute maybe?
Menu > Setup > System > Timeshift Settings

It would be better to put the HDD inside the receiver.

tried to put my old 1.5 tb sky hd drive in but that wouldn't play the recordings! timeshift is set to 2 secs . will try and change time shift to see if that works! will any plugins cause the box to crash?
