PV-HS2000 lost its brain

you can recover files from crashed hard drive with asoftech data recovery program

After digging around for awhile, the only onfo I could gather was that teh D12 uses the same codes as the D10 & D11, but could not get those codes, I am still looking around and will post any other info I may aquire. I would also suggest re-trying any codes for echostar. I can tell you this as I sell that equipment in my market and echostar provides the equipment and support for techs, installers, and retailers. Anyway Good Luck for now

if you still want one i'm selling my nearly new unit.

modified with larger hard drive and screen covored vent holes for air flow
even added fans inside to move the air.

been in use a whopping 2 months, unfortunately i might not have a phone line to use it any longer.

Either that http://www.weaknees.com/replaytv-showstopper.php
or buy yourself a hard drive and configure it following http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-27662_30_0.html

Take the batteries out of the remote wait 24 hours and replace them. Good luck

Instead of buying a new computer, you can go with installing memory and hard drives. it will be cheaper.

Check out the website of Weaknees.com.

They sell Upgrade Kits& larger hard drives for DVRs.

Go to their site and click on DVR Hard Drives... they will ask for the make and model number of your DVR and offer additional and/or replacement Hard Drives for your specific DVR.

They also offer (2) Upgrade Services:

(1.) for $49 they will install your additonal or new Hard Drive

(2.) for $79 they will copy all your setting AND programming to the additional or new Hard Drive.

I have dealt with them before and their email customer service is one of the best I've ever experienced.

Good luck!!!

I successfully replace my Showstopper hard drive following the instructions posted at http://rtvpatch.sourceforge.net/utility.html

Yes, your hard drive has developed bad sectors. It will most likely need to be replaced. I am going through the same problem right now myself.

send to Panasonic Digital Svc Center, 410 B Airport Road, Elgin, IL 60123 - $149.95 + $30 return shipping. You have a bad hard drive and they will take care of it for you.
