I've got the 500gb version of that. Had it 2 years and not had any problems at all with it. I formatted mine with the exFAT format to work with both Windows and Mac.

Can anyone help me get shut of the Babylon search engine please?

I downloaded (legally) a program yesterday and this bloody thing was embedded within it. I've managed to get rid of it from IE but FF is proving a little more difficult. I've lost the Babylon menu bar and seem to have also got shut of all Babylon-related files on my 'puter but at every re-start, the home page opens with babylon search.

I've tried all the suggestions found on google, including amending settings in FF 'about:config' but the damn thing keeps returning. Although it appears to be benign, it's not doing my bloody crust in. Any help appreciated.

You're probably sorted by now and/or you've already tried this, but in case not Malwarebytes sorted that for me a few months ago.

In all honesty, it's a customer at work. We have one on display but some knob has locked it.

Anyway, I'm fairly certain we've tried that. It wouldn't let us do it via the menu because we don't know the pin, I'll double check the hard reset whilst connecting it to a comp, but I'm sure when we last tried it it was still locked on the 'android lying down' screen.

If that doesn't work then Asus/Nexus support are your next port of call, that is what you pay for.

Anyone having or had trouble with sky recording. It's been doing it for a while now but getting worse. After doing a recording in the planner it says "part recorded" and when you try and watch it it freezes for a few seconds and you get the message "Recording interrupted by loss of signal". I have been on various sky forums and this is fault 7 and no one seems to get any joy from sky over this problem. Resets and new boxes don't resolve the problem. I can't be a###d to spend hours on the phone with them so if anyone has had this issue can you let us know how you got on.

Living in Hull, Virgin ain't an option. :( ,Just like our land line Broadband we're stuck with Karoo,(no BT or Virgin to choose from) although there seems to be some wireless providers moving in but not sure how reliable they are.

Could it be your satellite dish? We had a problem a while ago where we had issues with recording and signal and it turned out the dish lost line of sight every now again because a tree had grown and when the wind blew the branches and leaves blocked the line of sight.
