    Has anyone actually written more than 1 TB to 1.5 TB or 2 TB drives?
    I remember that people had problems with Vu+ Duo with larger than 1 TB drives: everything is working fine until you write more than 1 TB, then the trouble begins.
    So I put 1 TB drive in my Duo to avoid such problems.
    Now I am thinking about putting 1.5 or 2 TB into ET-9000.

    I just put Samsung F2 154UI 1.5 TB 5400 rpm into my new ET9000. Fine so far. Interesting what will happen when over 1 TB.
    It successfully records channels that are no longer recorded for some reason by Vu+ Duo with 1 TB Samsung (for example, FoxNews). Most of the channels are still recorded by Duo, but for some reason now zero-length or very small size .ts files are consistently created for some channels.
    I will try Eurosport 2 North East HD next - it has so many sound tracks and perhaps that's why it is not recorded by Duo (with a pretty old Open PLi image).
    Foxnews was previously recorded without problems, but no longer - perhaps something changed in the broadcast and it can be handled by a newer VIX image.

    Just installed a Seagate Desktop external drive 500gb ( model no. ST305004EXD101-RX ) in my new ET9000.

    Formatted it on my pc but it would not work with the VIX_hd skin my et9000 kept hanging and wouldn,t boot up for some reason so i changed the skin to vali.hd.flex and it worked.

    Anyway first impressions of the et9000 are very impressive. Much better than my DM800.

    Just an update on this...

    I had no end of problems with this hard drive using the VIX image.

    So i changed to the Clarke-Tech support V2 image and after lots of testing this hard drive works great on the CT image.

    Well if its initialized on the CT image it should work fine in the ViX image. Did you check mount manager in the the ViX image? Blue button > ViX > Mount manager.

    Flashed the CT image and it hasn,t crashed once.

    Would have been more helpful if you posted the crashlogs so we could have got to the bottom of your issue
