ITV incompetence strikes again!
I set my Humax HDR to record Nanny McPhee this afternoon. The Hummy came on, as expected, at 16:40 which is the normal 15mins before the programme start.
At 17:00 I noticed there was no 'REC' symbol showing so I switched the TV on and was disappointed to see that the film was obviously well underway. So I manually started the recording on the Humax. Then at 17:05, a timer conflict message appeared because ITV must have finally sent the 'Start of Programme' signal.
What a shambles!
So, I either set manual padding and run the risk of any overun going beyond the 5mins I can set; or set Auto and have ITV screw up the start and/or finish.
Catch 22, if you ask me!
