Yes. SmartEPG v6b. Downloaded on the 22/3/14. Was 6.1 even out then? I downloaded it from http://oztoppy.wikidot.com/smartepg , so they might not have been up to date at the time. I think i'll tell my mum to sell the 7170, and get a different unit. Not that she can afford it. But using the default E...

It was V6.0b that i had installed. Doesn't work with our 7170.

Oh ok. Bummer, was hoping it would be the hard drive, and not SmartEPG. I just re-installed the firmware, factory reset, and then installed the latest version of SmartEPG. I didn't reset/format the hard drive, because i didn't want to have to backup 700gb of data, and don't really have free space fo...

Here is the result from HDDinfo. I don't know what the information means though. Anyone know what we're looking at? Does the HDD have errors?

The unit had been working previously with SmartEPG, so i would think it can work in future. Maybe it is the HDD. Another guy suggested i try HDD error checking TAP. I ...

Haven't tried uninstalling SmartEPG and all its components, I simply disabled It. Not enough? Installed via usb stick. If I factory reset and reinstall firmware, would I have to backup hard drive first? What a pain. Don't know about the SBS retune, unsure. Only other tap I've got in autostart is ret...

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. I have the latest firmware installed on my 7170, which is compatible with TAPs. It's Nov 18th 2013 firmware. Do not have the unit networked yet. I had been using the unit with SmartEPG installed, for nearly 2mths. The first time the problem happened, i took it in t...

Hello, i'm Australian, so only english please. Bought Topfield TRF-7170 about 11 weeks ago. It now freezes up. I turn it on, and it says "checking HDD" for about 1 minute. When finished checking, the unit will display whatever channel it's on, but no buttons will work. The unit's LED display will bl...
