I bought an LG (RH 178) HDD recorder over 2 years ago. Some time ago it stopped recognising DVDs (i.e. stopped working as a DVD player) but since the HDD recording and DVD writing still worked, I wasn't too bothered.
Now the DVD writing is starting to break down so I am concerned that the HDD may be the next to fail.
Is there a way of transferring the content on the HDD to a PC ? I assume that the HDD content is stored in a standard format (e.g. .VOB ?). The device supports the 'standard' AV connections (SCART, S Video, red/yellow/white) connections, but not USB.
For example, as a last resort, it may be possible to cannibalise the HDD unit to remove the HDD and rehouse it as an external hard drive, but I'd rather a cleaner method.
