Did anyone else attempt to record this? (I know I am officially 'sad')!!

Anyway we settled down to watch it this morning and it had stopped recording after 2 hrs - at the end of the performances (sic) and before voting. Ive only just bought the Humax havoing loved the freeview version and this was forst major recording on HD so less than happy at the moment.

Unless of course it was me and Ive doen something sillY??

Any ideas?

Mine was the same, the first recording problem in 6 months . Looks they screwed up the AR codes.

Mine was the same good thing I was watching it only slightly behind live!!

I wonder if mine was because I only set it up to record part 1 which finished at 10pm? I had assumed it would be a single program and not split into 2 parts as it seems to have been for some reason..

According to the SkyHD Forum the EPG entry was split in two. Was it changed at the last minute on freesat?

Also the BBC website has it listed in 2 parts as well.

Edit: Snap

I thought that the FoxSat HDR was able to cope with programmes that were in two parts. I too lost the second half although when I set up the recording, I didn't realise the EPG entry was split in two.

The HDR does cope well with split events it's the broadcaster that doesn't. It appears the BBC failed to include the data in the epg on this occasion

And welcome to the forum

I just spotted your joining date you don't post often

thanks for the replies and its confirmed my best fears - it was the bbc and not me!


And yes been a member for a while but dont post hardly at all - but always a source of info to help me make the decisionon kit - so thanks again

At least the sound didnt go off this Year.........on the 10 mins I watched, anyway!

It was indeed listed as two unrelated programmes, not even a series.
I only spotted it because I noticed the BBC One entry was longer.
Sadly my sound worked fine all the way through.

Mine recorded both parts.

When I selected it in the EPG on 108 BBC HD (not from BBC1 where it also offered HD), it asked me if I wanted to record the Series.

I couldn't understand why, until I saw later that it was 2 programmes. Selecting Series Recording, flagged both programmes to record.

Don't know why they did it this way, and not just 1 continuous programme.

Rgds.

Hi from the Sky HD forum,
This is the reply I got regarding the issue.
It seems they are trying to incorrectly blame the service provider for it being a split entry on the EPG.
