Hello all,
There seem to be a lot of set top box geeks around here, so perhaps
someone can answer a question I have.
With all the recording, deleting, pause functionality today's PVRs
have, and the large volume of data I'd imagine its shifting around,
doesn't the hard disk get really fragmented? Does the software deal
with this, or does it not bother because streaming the content off the
disk even when its fragmented not a very intensive task?
Cheers!

I'm not sure about any other PVR, but I do know that Sky+ boxes have a
defrag application loaded onto them.
Press Services, 4, 0, 1 and the Select and choose 'Sky+ Planner Rebuild'
or something to that effect.
I'm not sure whether the box does this automatically every now and again
or whether this "feature" is just to help sort out corrupted hard disks
remotely.
I've used this on my own box and it actually recovered quite a bit of
disk space!
Hope this helps.
