Sky+ HDD space disappearing ?

redout

Space on my sky box just keeps disappearing. Thats really all I can say. last night I went to sleep with 11% an this morning woke up with 3% even though I recorded nothing. Same crack on Xmas eve also went to bed then woke up Xmas day and about a similar amount of space has just disappeared even though nothing recorded. I would not be as pissed if it was not for the fact I have little space left as it is and dont want to lose any of my recordings. Anyone know whats happening ?

is sky "anytime" running ?

Yes but I dont see how that has anything to do with it ? They have their seperate 80GB limits.

Ok I just checked my Sky anytime and found this out. I have 33 items in anytime currently. Now 15 of these are movies and the rest documentaries, tv shows etc. I can never recall having so many items in anytime the most I ever remember their being is about low 20's. The combined size of all this must be over 80GB and I presume that it is stealing some of my 80GB is all I can conclude.


EDIT: Just to update that I have now gotten back 18% of my personal HDD space that was stolen by anytime. I have noticed that 6 movies have now been deleted from Anytime since my last post. I cant believe that sky actually took nearly a fifth of my recording space. Too much of a coincidense for their to be any other explanation. I am going to give them a call to see what they say.

you have the option in menu to turn it off.

I know that but I was not aware that they encroach on your personal 80GB at their whim.
