DVR full capacity issue

My DVR is constantly stating it is near or at full capacity. Unplugging the DVR to force a reset helps, but it doesn't last more than a few days. I know when it's getting to be a problem when I press the record button while watching TV and it comes up with a message for "create a manual recording" only with the other options grayed out. I have replaced the DVR once, but it hasn't helped. I could try replacing again. 

Also, not sure if this is related, but sometimes I can't search for upcoming shows by title. It can't find anything.

If it's a Moto DCT 3416, and you're in Tulsa, you can extend your storage by plugging a WD MyBook AV into the SATA port on the back of your DVR. $100 from Amazon for 1 TB. Will probably work in other locations as well, but Tulsa is the only one I can personally vouch for.

socalpat, 

After you power cycle the box what does the hard drive space say when you pull up the DVR list?

Is the cable straight from the wall to the receiver or is there a splitter?
