Problem with Showstopper PV-HS2000

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

My Panasonic Showstopper PV-HS2000 displays "Please Wait a Few Moments ...."
screen when turn on but it doesn't do anything after that, I can't use
remote or even turn it off with the power button. Is it bad sign? this
unit works before .......
Thanks

Thanks for your inputs.

Your signature remind me of the guy I used to know, he also knows alot about
replaytv too. Matter of fact I like him a lot so that I name my email after
him. Hope you know him too.

Thanks Noone

I was able to get the system up after swapped out with another 160gb hard
drive. Now I can only record 1 show and it won't record another drive
because it's full. I just need to figure out what went wrong when I image
the drive, wish there is a way to tell how much space you have in that
system.

Thanks

Sounds like it thinks it has a very low capacity.

When you connect that drive to a computer, does RTVPatch show the
correct size?

Are you sure you used the "patch target drive" command right?

You wouldn't use 'patch' instead of 'restore' (WHAT are you
patching?), but AFTER 'restore'.
