Well, I'm assuming it was the BBC.

I have 'That Mitchell and Web look' on series record. Last night the BBC were advertising two episodes back to back in the listings.

What appeared in the EPG was one episode of 'Jam and Jerusalem' followed by one episode of M&W. However both of these had the 'record' flag showing. (I've never recorder J&J.)

Checking the morning I find one episode of M&W not in a series folder and with a duration of 0m and that idiotic 'recording failed for unknown reason' message.

Really, really, professional work, BBC.

After what they did with Heroes not so long back nothing suprises me .....the BBCHD channel just seems an afterthought

Long time ago saw the ads for 'Trooping the Colour' in HD BBC.
Today I see NO such event on HD ..
instead i an copying 'GANGES' for haLF AN HOUR AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE..
Oops got carried away
Luckily i had progged the BBC1 also so ..whose fault was that then at the BBC??
If i paid a licence fee i'd be furious

This was announced yesterday, see link.

Thanks MOB i did not know that.. and
my Humax certainly had not been informed..
In fact i was watching the 'Ganges' which showed all the indications of being Recorded..
and I thought that some parts would come in nicely to augment my own videos of India..
so i was less unhappy..
Equally the second period of time had another program scheduled to record so i left that on also..
However..Later that day.. i switched on to watch the 'Ganges'...
which i had watched being recorded bofore my very own eyes..
only to find a BLANK Icon
saying 'Recording Failed Unknown'..
I was very unhappy again..
and I dare not let my grandkids see the INFO relative to the Recording in SD ..of 'Trooping the Colour'
as they would think grand-dad was incompetent.. as it says For all to see..ALSO in HD

Odd, because I recorded that and watched it quite happily last night.

Sorry you missed it because it was really beautiful. However, it's the sort of thing they repeat so you should get another chance to see it.


Edit: Just checked and the whole series is available on Amazon for a fiver.

My link for reggie perrin failed again for both episodes with the classic "Recording has failed. Unknown reason" (two weeks on the trot).

As ever in the media guide is lists the channel number rather than the name on the failed items.

Every Mr Perrin would come up with a better excuse than that!
