I started archiving a film and realised I missed the start whilst trying to find a blank DVD. I can't stop the archiving at all by pressing any of the usual keys (stop,back,exit,red,select etc).

Does anyone here know how to stop an archive once started or do I just have to let it play all the way to the end ?

Some while ago I had the same situation as you did and couldn't find a way to stop it, short of pulling the plug out, which I decided not to do.

I don't recall ever reading of a way to do this either.

Kingers.

Nope, dont think you can stop it gracefully once it has started.

Thanks. No big deal really as I only archive things occasionally.
It's a handy little function for backing up TV shows to DVD.

Yes true, although I've recently added a Sony DVD/HDD recorder to the stack under the telly and anything that I plan to put onto DVD I use the Sony for because of the ease of use.
Most recording though has stayed with the DHD4000 because of the twin tuners and I've gotten used to the on-screen guide (now if only it had series link).

I don't really miss series link. I just use the option to record 'D'aily or "W"eekly.

I know this can be a problem if the programme time is changed, but this is unusual. And what if I miss a programme? Hey, it's only TV!
