Recording problems on ITV3

Using 9200T with v23 software
Just this last week or so I have tried recording Midsomer Murders on ITV3, out of 3 attempts, 2 recording stopped after 1Hr 30 mins (2 hour program) and last night it only recorded for 1 minute (start and stop time showed 18-57). I have my hummy set up with fixed padding, 3 minutes early and 5 minutes late. All recording on other channels work ok and I recorded Lewis (ITV3) on saturday night ok. Has anyone else had similar problems

Can you check and see how much space you have left on the hard drive? Menu > Record > HDD Control. Mine's never gotten low enough to prevent recordings so I don't know if there's any kind of warning or error message that comes up. There should be, but . . .

About 127Gb - so no trouble there

There is, and once displayed existing recordings can be manually deleted making space for the current one before it is halted.

These problems are typical of using AR - but with padding set, AR is disabled

Have you verified that all channels are received from the same transmitter?

Yes, I done a manual tune - for the mendip Transmitter.
I think I might do another "reset to default" and see if that cures the problem

I think there is an intermittent problem with itv3 AR recording. I record The Bill on a monday night (stv do not show it) with my 9200 set to series link. Last monday I only got the first three minutes. On other occasions it has recorded a minute or two, then gone on to record the remainder of the programme, giving me two recordings for the one programme. The 9200 video listing shows a broken recording icon.

I do not record any other progs on itv3 so cannot say how widespread the problem is. Other channels record ok on series link.
