If I set my PVR to record a programme off the guide then It also records the programmes previous to it, from the time I set the recoding.
This means I have to fast forward through hours of recordings to watch the programme I'm interested in
As yet I've not tried to reset my box (when I do it takes days to get a full EPG listing).
Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes I have the same problem but for some reason it only happens then the wife tapes Eastenders if the One Show is on before it - no idea why it happens but we put up with it.

The same thing happened to me last week, although we never intended to record Eastenders or the One show, just the programme that followed which was The Apprentice - Final Five.

I have the same problem occasionally when recording from the Cbeebies or CBBC channel, again it's something we just put up with.

i am having the same problem here, rec a 30min program turns into 3hrs.

can you revert to v5.08 ???

I have reverted back to 5.08, the problem seems to be only if you are using the Freeview+ EPG.

At first it appeared only to happen with recordings set before the latest update but last night i recorded the 100 greatest toys which was set as a planned recording after the latest update and the box went on for 6 hours.

You can tell when the box is playing up as the EPG locks up at the time the recording started, this of cause means the box will also miss any recordings set to start after the time it froze.

im not sure how to revert back to 5.08 and if i can. im trying to use the top up tv 14 day guide and see how that goes as the box is unusable at the mo.

thanks for the crappy update !!!

go in to the help menu and press either red or green and the option to revert will appear

i got a reply from TOPUP TV, they say to format the hard drive and revert to factory defaults.

not sure if thats gonna work, but i`ll give any thing ago. may even get this low power thing everybody is on about.

nope, didnt fix it.

looks like i`ll have to use the 2 week guide ( without reschedules )

may think about buying a diff box if they dont sort it.

5.08 was fine.

Bad advice . I fitted a brand new hard drive to have plenty of record space over Christmas. Presented with loads of error message of missed recordings from software version 6.1, it is not fit for purpose. Go back to software 5.08
Who tested this software? If you format your hard drive you lose all your previous recordings!
