Sky+ reporting wrong amount of free disc space - ahhh

Ok - went away for a few days, recorded a few shows and come back = 4%
left on hdd.

Hmm - only about 8 shows listed altogether including those on series
link. Add all the disc space up - 32% - way off what sky+ is reporting.

Anyway I can fix without looking my shows?

The new planner rebuild menu option should do the trick. No guarantees
though.

Bugger - did not know about that rebuild - did a reset and know seems to
be ok - oh well - back to reset series link.

I had a similar problem; about 38% lost. No amount of planner rebuilds
fixed it. I eventually dumped all of the Sky+ content I had saved to my
DVD recorder's hard disk, and did the full reset. Used+Free space now
adds up to 100%.

I'm not sure what caused the space to be lost. I do know that it wasn't
a power failure. I keep one PC running 24/7 on a UPS, and it would have
logged any power failures.

I had the same problem. Didn't want to do a rebuild (as I couldn't remember
if it was destructive or not), so simply put box into stand-by then powered
off. Turned back on and correct free space was showing. Weird.

Normally it isn't.
