Just got around to watch Thunderbirds in HD recorded from ITV HD and all I got was the ITV HD logo, anyone know if it was shown at all?

    It would have failed if you set it up from the EPG to record in HD, and then it was only shown in SD; it doesn't default to recording in SD if the HD version isn't broadcast.

    It treats the SD & HD broadcasts as Alternate Instances.

    I can't remember, as I didn't set this up to record myself, but did it actually make it to the EPG with an HD icon shown, and available to record in HD?

    If it was not on the EPG in HD, then this isn't the cause of your failed recording, if it was on the EPG, then the above explanation applies.

    It was originally in the EPG with the option to record in HD and it did still record but I got 2 hours of the ITV HD logo.

    The option to record in HD was on the EPG.

    So, jwball & zetor have different experiences here

    jwball reports a failed recording, zetor reports recording the ITV HD logo for 2 hours.

    I would have expected (and have experienced before), the failed recording when not broadcast in HD, having been set up as an HD Timer.

    I can't explain the different results, unless they are Regional differences, as have been seen occasionally before with HD flags being present/missing ........:confused:
