My EchoStar HDS 600 RS library is 60% full. Today the machine has recorded two scheduled programmes. However when one tries to play them back, the screen is black, the measurement bar shoots along at a very quick rate from left to right. There is no playback. The machine is 6 years old and has behaved faultlessly in that time. It has frozen recently in "playback"mode and I have need to switch off and then switch on again. The machine goes through its "loading" and "Checking HDD" modes before resuming perfect playback. I have powered off for the night and will see how the machine behaves tomorrow. Could old age coupled to for ever being warm/hot be the problem? STEPHEN BAILEY, France


how much is it to repair or replace the hard disc?


suddenly no sound but the tv works when satelite is switched off


hds-600RS wont fast forward past 8x


Working perfectly well until a week ago when we had a power cut for 2 hours. Dead ever since - checked fuse, different socket. Still dead


HDS-600RS won't work through an HDMI switch - 2 different types tried - PSU powered and HDMI powered. Works fine direct to TV and other inputs to switch (Sony Blu ray player) work fine


Audio description has just started for no reason. How can I stop it ?

I had reason to reset my HDS-600RS and now get the message "No channel list". I am unable to turn off the device or get any response from it or the remote buttons. Help!


Output from Scart socket OK but no output from HDMI socket.

Problem: The unit has just frozen up. It keeps freezing and then shutting itself down.

There are 0 comments on this problem.

Solution 1: It can be extremely frustrating when this happens. Most of the time, there isn't much you can do other than turn it off and then on again, at the mains if the power button isn't responding.

However, there are a few things you can check to help prevent it in the future. Number one is check how hot it is. Freezing can happen when the unit isn't properly ventilated or is in a hot place. Make sure all the vents are uncovered and there is nothing on top of it.
You might also want to check for system updates.
Finally, you might consider turning the unit off and then on again regularly to reboot it. Freezing often occurs when it has been running for a long time, so once a week or so you could try to reboot it by switching it off and on. If you don't want to do this yourself, you might consider buying a timer switch to do this for you at a time you know you won't be using the machine, e.g. 4AM.

Problem: Recordings keep failing. Sometimes when I record a programme, I get an error message and I lose the recording.

There are 0 comments on this problem.

Solution 1: Recordings fail for a number of reasons. If you schedule the recording and it records - but records the wrong thing - the box might be tuned to two different regions. Reset the channels and manually tune them if you suspect this to be the case.
If the unit is on a series record but has missed the programme, check the programme guide to see if future episodes are being recorded. It may have identified the programme as a different series for some reason, so set a series link on any future episodes that are not being recorded.

Other failed recordings can show a problem with the unit. One or two failed recordings do not necessarily mean that your unit has a fault - it could be due to a power cut or your box could have (unluckily!) frozen or crashed prior to the start of the programme.

However, if there are numerous failed recordings and it continues to occur even though you can watch TV OK, it sounds like a problem with the hard disk and this will need to be either repaired or replaced.
