Did you format after your recording clips? 

I noticed buzztv still show the recorded videossfter you format the hard drive. You will see them but obviously they won't play. You need to delete anything that was recorded but you formatted after.  Make sure you set pvr to the external hard drive if you don't want to record in the internal buzztv memory

[Robert]

Thanks I will try that. Maybe I just should have bought. A 1tr external drive instead of my western  digital internal drive?

[Robert]

What do you think?

[lailanis]

Try removing your internal hard drive, format it using windows or something and place it back to buzztv. Don't format it using buzztv, just use it as it is and see how it works 

[Robert]

Thanks so much. Have a great day.

[Robert]

I forgot I don,don't, have a computer.  If I would buy a external hard drive like 500gb would that work? I hate to bother you so much.

[dishuser]

what happens when you record to internal?

[lailanis]

Buy adapter HDD to USB (they sell it cheap on Amazon) and plug it to a computer, you can do it in bestbuy store or something where they have display laptops and try formatting the HDD, before you take it back to your buzztv and see

I don't know where you live but around here you can't go into a best buy
