I assumed it was a broadcast problem, but as no one else has mentioned it, maybe it was my STB?

Strictly, Saturday, BBC One Yorkshire (not HD), series link, automatic timing, got "programme time 6:00pm to 7:20pm, actual time 7:01pm to 7:20pm" (or something like that).

STB was probably switched on, probably on another channel (might have been BBC Three - I know, not broadcasting, but might have been left on that from previous night!).

So what happened? No power cut, no clashes AFAIK - is there a bug if you leave the box on an "off" channel? Or were you all recording the HD version so don't know if the auto-record triggers for the SD version went out OK?


I noticed also that, whereas the recordings usually start during the BBC One station ident, the results show recording (which did work!) started as the show itself started - i.e. no "now on BBC One" before it. There was also the full BBC One conituinty announcement for the following programme at the very end of the recording, whereas usually this would be cut off.

Cheers,
David.

Same evening my Humax HDR only recorded last 12 minutes of the England rugby game on BBC3.
Luckily it was repeated the next day

Had "Neil Diamond - Solitary Man" set up to record on HDR from BBC2 on Saturday evening. Box was on another channel, but I noticed it was 10 mins in and wasn't recording. Changed channel to 102 and box immediately shut down. I pressed power and brought it back up, then manual record. End result, two recordings showing in media list, both of 42 mins duration, one being flagged as failed. Second one was OK from where I intervened, first 10 mins lost. What?
