no i use the power touch button at the front to shut down.

Still there is no way to prove that it is not the app that is the cause or a factor in the hdd corruption

What we do know is showtime does freeze when rewind or fast forward HD content...

I still think this is something to look further into by the devs....

I format my FS and everything works good again...

So I still don't know if the hdd was the cause but the hdd works again after the format of the FS...

Plus hdd was never a problem before I used showtime.
I played ps3 running games from internal and external without issue until I used showtime...

I still think this is something to look further into by the devs....
since we don't want it to happen to others

What I do know is, showtime is it played a role in the hdd corruption cos it freeze the ps3...(as confirmed by others here)

Once the ps3 freezes, it can corrupt the FS if something is writing to the hdd at the time..
and users only option is to power it off..either from the front or back..
I did it from the front power...but it still corrupt it

So just a warning to any one considering to use showtime
Just be careful with this app..

And I think this needs to be investigated further rather than just guessing it must be the hdd..
since data corruption is a big deal when u lose all your saves..

And people please backup your game saves...do it regularly.. IT is the hardest part to recover if the hdd fails or corrupts
That is probably the BIGGEST LESSON of all.
