Hi Pete
That's a hard one to nail down because you have something amiss in the playback section by mentioning that there is something wrong with the menus which are generated in the MPEG decoder chip *AND* something wrong in the recording section by mentioning that previous recorded material has an issue which may be the MPEG encoder or the video input switcher. Trouble is neither of these areas have any common circuitry and for both to fail or exhibit an issue at the exact same time is almost impossible.
Maybe a good idea would be to rule out a software glitch by trying to image up a test hard disk and see if you can replicate the problems on a totally seperate hard disk. That way you can for sure rule out a software issue or hardware problem with the motherboard without losing any recordings or settings.
Try that and see how you go from there.
