Sky+ new EPG has fixed Housekeeping

    I've had sky+ for a little over a year, and have upgraded it to a 120GB disk. It works fine. Occasionally I get failled recordings (bad weather, kids pulling the card out while recording, etc...). The Housekeeping function in the system menu cleaned up some of the space lost due failled recordings, but not all of it, leaving some effectively dead space on my disk.

    This dead space has slowly been growing, up to about 15% of disk space.

    The new EPG downloaded the other night, new look, but no apparently new features that I can see (but I'm sure they are there somewhere).

    So I tried housekeeping again to see if the disk space recovery has improved any. So Services -> 4 0 1 Select, and selected disk cleanup. System shut down and after about 5 minutes (when the disk stopped spinning) I powered up again.
    Into the Sky+ Planner, and all the dead disk space has been recovered. Happy days :-)

    i tried housekeeping after i got the new software yesterday because it kept saying that the disk was full, even though there was nothing recorded, only a failed non-existant 6am RTE 2 recording

    Housekeeping froze so after 20 mins i had to power off the box and reboot. havent tried housekeeping since but i am only missing 7% so i can live with that for a while
