I think I am losing my hard drive. Will my box be useless when it goes or will I still be able to watch live TV?

If it does still work do you think I should wait for the new HD box (DVR) or get another HR10-250 (or replace the drive)?

Thanks!

It will be useless. I'd replace the drive.

If you are capable of replacing the drive yourself, do it now, before your current drive dies completely, and you may be able to save your recorded programs.

My first drive started to die and I copied it to a new drive using MFSTOOLS. The new drive was able to boot far enough to do a green-screen recovery (which succeeded). After that, most of the old programs were still viewable.
