Paid not attention to it until now and it has no light on.  Took out the hard drive, tried to do a reset on the back no luck.

Wall wart is ok as I dug out the 4900 and it powers up.  Any suggestions?

I'm currently trying to sign into Google Play store, but half through putting in my password, the box will shut off and the remote will not turn back on. I was able to connect it to my wifi, no problems, but now this snag. It's like when I try to move to a different page, it shuts off, that's the only way I can describe it. My box, as of now, is still, and I have not been navigating on it. Now it's started beeping every so often. Help, it's driving me bonkers.  Is there a fix and how can I fix it? Appreciate the help.

I'm using an ethernet cable

i have formatted my 1TB hardrive

i keep getting media format is not supported errors

sometimes it lists the recording as if it there. But it's not

I reconnected my XRS4500 and it records perfectly. The only difference is the U5

So i'm stuck using my 4500 to do all my recording. The irony is i loved the 4500 so much, i thought the u5 would be a worthy upgrade

I can control the TV (volume and power) with the BT-400 remote. I want to control the U5 with the Samsung Remote. When I try to do it, the TV shows only some brands of OTT receivers.

One has got its HDD disconnected (don't know why/how). Now it is unable to reconnected at reboot.  A side-effect of that is that gogle play is no able to instal applications du to lack of memeory even if the internal drive memory has 26Go left.

What should I do? The disk is not longer visible at all in buzzTVutilities (Disk-Format). Not that I don't have any data on this drive so far.

Thank you
