Satellite H7s Hdd keeps running up

[Southy007]

Hi

Had the H7s for just over a month and love it.
Running whooshbuild infinity. And have a hdd installed internally.
The hdd seems to run up every few minutes, even when just watching tv. I thought it could have been epg related but this only runs once in the morning and the issue happens when epg I snt called on.

Any ideas what to check? Thanks

Hi thanks I have checked and it’s the same as yours.
I’ve changed it to 10 mins and see if that does anything....

I wonder is it looking for more ram/memory and uses hdd?

it may also be that when you pull up the channel list it accesses the hdd to populate the now/next EPG stored on the hdd

On my old h2s I had a SD card which had epg timeshift etc located on that and not the hdd.
No SD card slot on the H7s so wonder if that’s why I can hear it more often...

I think that is normal if you have epg on your HDD.

Would it be better to move the epg to the box memory? It wouldn’t take up much space and the box has 4gb flash? Or is this not advised?

Cheers

No as epg can become corrupted and cause issues. Some use a USB stick just for epg and picons so drives aren't constantly spinning I just use hdd myself.

One reason i like extra usb slots add a usb stick and use that for epg.
