If you have a microSD card (maximum 512GB), you can try using that. It won't solve the hdd problem, but it will let you record for now.

Re: T4 - Crash playing MKV files
When you say 'crash', are you talking hard reboot, or gui reboot? I will occasionally get gui reboots on some anime files with dodgy subtitles. The price we 'pay' for sailing the high seas.

A small issue -
Press the Imdb Search button to bring up the Title list
Press the Media button on any highlighted title - gui restart.
It works as intended if you press the Details button first, after highlighting an entry in the Title list.

I would always get a .3 sec audio delay on every hdmi recording. A quickish fix was to use mkvmerge or even ffmpeg to adjust the audio sync (which doesn't re-encode the video).

Re: Single EPG: filters
This would be brilliant if it could be applied to the full epg. All that would need to be done is to change the text of the offending title (I'm thinking something along the lines of 'CRAP') and remove the description. This way the epg itself remains the same (apart from the text).
