The file are surprisingly easy to identify as they are. It did allow me to recover some of the old recording from the failed disk.

Connected drive to computer with a SATA to USB cable and removed the NTFS formatting, try again but still no Maintenance mode. I ordered a “new” Seagate ST500VT000 when it arrived I started to suspect it wasn’t ‘factory-fresh’… Put it in the box, but couldn’t get Maintenance mode, just a blank screen – even after an hour. Maybe it was something to do with the hard disk not being ‘video’ grade, or the small size…

With Youview you get great catch up TV with BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4 On Demand, Demand 5, Dave, NOW TV, UK TV and Milkshake all on your TV. On further investigation the hard disk heads had stuck. Once the lid was off, my suspicion that the hard disk was responsible was confirmed.

I found them when our box started humming a tune and I wanted to know how to take the thing apart. Thats because BT offers YouView as part of its TV service and the latest box has been branded as a BT device. John Lewis also offers the same, and there are plenty of other options from a number of retailers.
