I've been running my fios with external 2TB for 2 years now. After letting it get to 100% full ( in the DVR section of the menus where it shows space used ) by accident, I can now no longer see anything that is stored there. I see that the set is recognizing the external storage and it lists it as 100% used, but that's it.
Any idea how I can get back to my recorded content? I've tried unplug, reboot, plug back in then reboot but get same issue. Anybody know of some advanced hidden menu items or procedures that may help?
Don't think the drive has failed either as it seems fine and I can get my laptop to recognize it as a disk ( can do anything further as it doesn't recognize the formatting there ). Diagnostic against it reports that all is well and I can hear it spin up just fine with no strangeness.
On another side note, it seems that the fios set top box stops using its internal drive when the external drive is configured. I'm referring to the buffer/cache of the show you're watching seems to be stored on the external drive. Using the internal drive for buffering while letting the recorded material land on the external drive would seem to make more sense and would perform better.
THanks,
