I have a few programmes that reappear after the nightly 3.15am update.
I think only a reformat will get rid of them, but I need to watch some outstanding recordings first.
I reformatted and everything is back to normal.
I have three of these now - annoying but at least they eventually migrate to the last page of your recordings as later ones are watched & deleted. As a family we always have a large number of unwatched recordings so re-formatting is not an option. However, I am not sure whether these old programmes are counting towards the available space left on the drive & will the machine simply come up as 'full' eventually or will it overwrite these? I suspect the former! Not an issue for me at present, however, if I end up with too many more of them, I guess I will end up with more space that is effectively redundant.
I did once read on one of these threads that whilst these phantom programmes still show up in the list, they are not actually 'there' any more on the hard drive & that they would be overwritten. They are certainly still 'there' to be watched so I am sceptical of that claim!
Yes, that does seem to be the case. Also, many of my re-appearing recordings are a result of the box rebooting itself whilst recording.
I would say they do take up space, so when I am running short of space I delete them.
I think they must take up space as it is possible to view these recordings.
I had to do this manually once because the box was totally unresponsive & I wanted to watch something. I was aware that it was recording but I also knew that between myself & the rest of the family there were several recordings following each other. I was therefore forced to either re-boot whilst recording or be without the TV for the evening. I chose to re-boot knowing that this would probably leave me with an undeletable recording, and it did - bah!
Phone 151 we'll send a signal to your box then switch off at mains 10 seconds then switch back on.
Result no change, 'this is a known fault a future software upgrade will fix it, the recordings don't take up any space though'
'A Reformat might fix it' I said no too many recordings to loose at the moment. might ask for a reformat when everything s been watched just to get rid of the daily chore of deleting two non existent recordings.
This has happened to me too.
I shall be doing the same.
As you watch your recorded programmes the stuck ones will migrate to the very bottom of the list so not really worth trying to delete them. Still annoying but at least by sitting at the bottom you can ignore them.
It goes away but comes back the next time as Harry & Paul the time on the recording was 0.00
So last week I played the recording to see whats on it.
It recorded it for 10 mins then it stopped and the Recording/View Again/LiveTV/Delete came up I pressed delete and its hasn't turned up since.
Hope this would help
Samsung hasn't been out for years
Find it very strange coincidence that Sammy V+ has same bug as SA V+
Sounds like they let the same donkey program both
Dont let Virgin loose on Airplanes
Forgot they already are
THEY HAVE!
I deleted my phantom recordings yesterday, and when I checked today, there they were - STILL GONE!
