Bit tired when going to bed last night and left the Hummy in 'Non-Freesat' mode when I turned it off last night.

Woke up this morning and it was back in Freesat mode but it hadn't recorded 'Click' and all my sceduled recordings had gone.

Had to reset them all and will have to fire up the TV PC to watch the iPlayer for Click.

I wish the Hummy was as good as the old Thomson HD box.

"Click" on BBC News channel is an oddity.

The BBC, for some unknown reason set this up as a Series with a Series CRID but do not identify the individual problems with Prog CRIDs.

This causes problems with Series recordings, the behaviour is unpredictable, they can record fine for a few progs, then lose one, then start again, or they can fail to record from the first programme.

I have Click set up as a Manual Timer with some padding, repeating weekly, for this reason.

Edit : ^^^^^^^^^^

"individual problems" should of course be "individual programmes"

Aye, I know about the 'Click' thing, I've got ity set up to manually record 4.30 to 5am every Saturday morning, but because I left the box in 'Non-Freesat' mode when I turned it off on Saturday night, it wiped ALL my sceduled recordings and I had to start again. I understand that it is necessary to come back in to 'Freesat' mode before turning the box off to avoid this.

In tests I did deliberately leaving the box in non-freesat the box switched back by itself without problems when a freesar recording dell due. May be your recording time conflicted with the box housekeeping and it was this that caused the problems.

Also tested to see what happened if a freesat scheduled recording is scheduled to start while you are recording 1 or 2 in non-freesat. Provided the recording due is longer than 15 mins after entering non-freesat, the stb flashes a quick warning, stops the non-freesat recordings and switches back to Freesat to make the recording

May be simpler to leave it in non-Freesat and get the Manhattan fired up again for non-freesat. Have to run another feed through though.

Maybe just a co-incidence then.
