Sorry I missed the “mirrored” part after the RAID in your OP. A RAID mirror is a good idea in this application since you’re protected from drive failure and it seems they’re becoming far too common.

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your Live TV box, I actually have an older version and it performs perfectly. It sucks to hear though since I wanted another one for my TV room.
