    Default Telly ............ Help Recquired

    The TV is connected to a recordable DVD machine which incorporates a freeview box.

    I set it to record something. I then switch on the TV and the screen tells me that it is
    "Disc Format" it then says "Initalsaton Comlete"

    I click OK and we go back to "Disc Format" and so the merry go round continues.

    If I can get the disc out it might be OK. Advice would be appreciated. I've got a big hammer and I've got a crowbar I thought a more subtle attack would be appriopate

    Does it really say that?

    Might help if you told us the make and model. though personally I'd go the big hammer route.

    And it probably refers to a disk rather than a disc 'cos our colonial friends can't spell.

    And this thread is in the wrong place. All the geeks are over in Technolgy, Computing and Gadgetry, waiting with breath bated to jump to attention and answer just such a question as this*.

    Well I know how to spell. And I know how to read and copy what I read so I can reproduce it accurately. What more "fuck all" do you want me to know?

    I don't like your attitude.

    I know the answer to your problem, but I'm going to go and watch some animals on skateboards on youtube instead of helping you.
