If you have formatted it then it will have been wiped with random ones and zeroes making recovery impossible, you can do the same with a Virgin Media V+ box which has the same effect.

It seems it had a fault where the hard drive became corrupted, and a reformat was necessary. Unfortunately you will have lost all recordings, but hopefully the problem is now fixed for you.

Probably not, no
