SMART short test fails with 0x77

Been getting jerky stop/starts and failed recordings lately. Support suggested to clean up the disk with all recordings removed and had a scan done. This helped for a few days, then I found the diag menu and ran the tests. Got a failure on the SMART short test with 0x77. Running the SMART long test now.

From what I've seen, I suspect the drive is going out (HD DVR is 2 years old) so I'll be contacting D* support in the morning and "demanding" a replacement....since I have the protection package.

Didn't find anything else with this code, hence the new post. Will post support call results and fix.
