Wondering if anyones has tried putting in a 2TB drive into their Pace Sky HD+ box in NZ? i am considering trying need more space for upcoming Olympics recording!!
Like you, I want more disk capacity for the Olympics. I'm trying to put a 1.5TB Seagate drive into my Pace TDS850NNZ and getting no-where fast. I can't get Copy+ to read the programmes from original disk, much less actually get them onto the new drive. Copy+ doesn't seem to find any programmes on the disk at all but I'm sure they're there. I put the disk back in the decoder and it works fine. I've tried 2 different computers, one on Windows 7 and one on XP, and get the same result on both. So, I guess either I'm doing something wrong or Sky's latest software has introduced something quirky that the current version of Copy+ doesn't like.
That said, I tried Extract+ and that could see the programmes fine.
For the record:
Manufacturer Pace
Hardware Version TDS850NNZ.45.2
Software Version 92.2.5.7.2.145
Operating System Version CO21017
EPG Software Version U_1.7.1d
I'm not precious about copying my old programmes onto the new hard disk but it would be good to get the new disk in and working. I tried just installing it and the decoded started up OK but would recognise the new disk and I couldn't figure out how to format it. I haven't been able to figure out how to do Full System Reset on an NZ decoder. The instructions I found for other countries decoders doesn'y seem to work on the NZ model.
All advice grafefully received.
