Hard Drive media player/recorder

Liverzeb · 07-02-2008, 09:07 AM

Hi - newbie here - have a problem with my brand new media enclosure which is loaded with a 1 TB hard drive.

I spent six hours transferring stuff on to this thing from various PCs and lapyops and themn started watching an avi through my tv - half way through the colour went and the picture became distorted by red and green lines.

These lines have stayed ever since - even on the menu page - have tried witching cables etc. - no change.

Anyone seen this problem before?

Is this happening with just 1 file or anything you try and play? could be a corrupted file or the tv crapping out

It happens when you turn the thing on - the distortion is on the menu screen.

sounds like a gpu or a tv problem. you said you tried switching cables etc, did you try changing out the screen all together? If you have a computer monitor or another tv around the house, you might try hooking that up to your computer to see where the problem lies. what kind of graphics processor do you have?
