Hi all.
If you've seen my other post you'll know I'm struggling with an epg problem.
That means I've not yet used the box for any recordings, apart from one to check that the feature worked.

My other issue is the use of HDD space, I've just clicked on PVR now to check and it stands at 32% remaining. What's happening?
The only way to get it all back is to completely cut power to the box.

It's a 500gb drive, installed at purchase. I followed instructions for initialise and checked in vix / mount manager, it's mounted as: /media/hdd and ext4 R/W.
I set up swap file, menu/setup/vix/swap manager, select media/hdd, create swap file 256 mb. Activate, autostart and exit.

That's all I've done apart from trying to set up my epg's as explained in the other thread.

Elsewhere I've seen suggestions turning off 'timeshift' may cure this, others say not. Still, not an ideal solution and anyway what's going to happen to that space when I do start making recordings?
Any help or suggestions gratefully received, thanks.
