After Re-loading the Freeview Channels on 30th Sept, the disc space was nearly full on The Thomson DT16300. Go to Set up in the Menu, choose 'Personal Favourites' this will bring up all the stored Channels, For some reason a lot of the Channels are marked 'ON' each one takes up disc space. De-select every one, the channels stay in the recorder but release disc space. I now have 86% free. Trevor Rushton

This is a problem that i had with my DTI6300-16 it is the main hv capacitor on the psu (22uf 400v) it tested about 18uf so i replaced it,it now is working without picture breakup.i hope this helps?

Just got off the phone to TopUp TV and they knew how to sort this out.

Follow these steps

1. Turn on unit and press menu

2. choose set-up

3. then choose Help

4. On the help screen type the number 1397 on your remote - This will take you to an Engineer set-up screen.

5. Scroll down to option 7 (disable library video window) and toggle this option to "YES"

navigate back to your programs and delete the recording that was giving you the problem.

We've had the same problem with our Thomson DTR, but it was relatively simple to fix. Go to the menu by pressing MENU, then press 4 followed by 6. This will show the Help menu. Then, key in 1397 to enter 'engineer' mode, which contains several useful diagnostic functions. Scroll to item 7 (disable library video window) and toggle it to Yes by pressing the right directional button on the remote. After this, press Library, then delete the unwanted programmes.
It's very annoying, but hopefully the bug will be fixed when the next software update comes out.

Hope this has helped.
