I've had a very similar problem myself.
The planner just would not open up and the Sky Anytime red button disappeared totally from the menu. Couldn't watch anything that had been recorded
or record anything new either. Tried the usual planner rebuild but no joy, when trying to open the planner the system said that this function was not available
press backup to continue or select to reset the system, tried this a few times but again no joy, so removed the drive (500GB SEAGATE) and hooked it up to
my PC, which is running Windows 7, via a USB caddy.
I was running Copy+ Beta version 1.2.0.6 and the software could see everything from my planner but wouldn't allow me to copy the contents to
my hard disk. I had enough space but the start copy button was greyed out. I checked the Copy+ website for a later version and then installed the
lastest Copy+ Beta version 1.2.0.7, this version however came up with the message 'the file system is not a valid XTVFS file system', and
would not show the contents of the drive even though it was visible in the drop down selection list and also visable to windows. I searched my files for
a previous version of Copy+ just on the off chance that it was something to do with the beta versions I had been using, then installed an older version
that had previously worked for myself (Copy+ version 1.2.0.3). Didn't try the current stable version 1.2.0.5 though.
The older version of Copy+ seemed to do the trick, I was able to see the contents of the planner and then back them up to my PC (Minus the Anytime contents).
I then used Copy+ to copy my XTVFS image file back onto the same drive and put the drive back into my sky box. I then did a planner rebuild, after which
I checked everything was working. All the contents of the planner were visible and watchable, all series links were still in place and the Sky Anytime was back.
The system turns on and off in an instant, and up to now is back to how it should be. Fingers crossed it will be ok from now on.
