I fee your pain. Unfortunately, as 57 has said over and over here, we should never use the HDD as archival and only time-shifting, otherwise we risk losing it all. As I did once too. 
Please help me, 8300 just froze, rebooted and I lost ALL!
Hi guys,
Seems like once every 6 months I lose everything on the Apricorn Xpander. what am I doing wrong?
Here is my problem. Just got home, turned on TV and SA 8300 with an Apricorn 1 Tb Xpander. All has been fine for at least 6 months. got over 180 recordings but not even half full. Started watching a recording and pressed on guide to see what is playing in the meantime.
Well the PVR froze and rebooted all by itself. external drive I could see stayed on, green LED always lit. TV also stayed on. PVR displayed Boot instead of time on the front and then blank.
came back after about 5 minutes. I still see ALL my recordings on the list but when I choose something it just goes back to default 998 channel screen suggesting I press the list button to choose a recording.
I know those recording aren't wiped. external drive is fine. WHAT CAN I DO? over 100 of those recordings are my kids' stuff. it will break their hearts to miss that stuff.
PLEASE, there has to be a fix!
