Hi,

I had Holby set as a series link on the Foxsat HDR and it has worked perfectly for months. Tonight it failed to come out of standby and is still in the schedule.

Anybody else have this problem.

Same here. Only installed my Humax yesterday so thought it was something I'd done wrong... Maybe not

is it BBC ONE HD by any chance ?

Not for me, just plain old BBC1.

Same here ,bbc hd,did it sun aswell ?

Yes it was BBC 1 HD. I had Luther to record on another Foxsat Box and made sure to keep an eye on it as I didn't want that to fail but it recorded ok.

Must be BBC then.

It is being suggested that there was a cock-up in the Humax's overnight housekeeping which possibly left the clock set incorrectly which would explain the first timer of the day failing to fire from standby. Unless anyone had a timer fail when their box was already fired up or had been turned on earlier in the day?

Hi that would explain why my sons box which is timed to come on failed to do so.

Thanks for the info.

Only just noticed my HDR failed to record Luther (BBConeHD) on Tuesday and also two programmes on ITV1HD last night (Poms in Paradise & Lewis). Box has been in standby since Monday. First failures I've had for a long time. I spotted Lewis wasn't recording and did a manual record missing about 2 mins. Only after checking the recording I realised it was a repeat anyway. Is this a new .15 bug?

Following an overnight problem on Monday night first noticed by lack of thumbnail generation the box seems to have reset the clock in a similar manner to what happened on a power cut on V1.00.13. Resuming recording seems to have required a manual boot, presumably to reset the clock to the correct time. Because I booted the box early Tuesday to check if my box had thumbnails it has worked completely normally. Users who booted the box in the afternoon reported missed daytime recordings.

Hopefully because your box was booted to make the manual recording it should now be working OK.

Whether it's down to a bug in V1.00.15 (doubtfull as it's been in service on some hdrs since October last year) or down to some sort of problem at Freesat is anyones guess. It only seems to have affected Foxsat-hdrs though.

Thanks for the info, I tried a test recording from the guide last night (ITV News at Ten) which worked correctly from ITV1HD. There is a recording scheduled for tonight, and I'll be watching out to see if it works!

hi again.i am still having big problems trying to record scheduled programmes on my foxsat pvr.tried recording godfather11 on more four last night.recording started at proper time,but finished 70 minutes later.i got failed recording reason unknown.second coronation street also failed to record.it has got to the stage where i am thinking of not using the pvr function,as i am getting moaned at from the wife because her soaps are not recording.tried recording coronation street on itv2.that failed as well.i went into media and programmes i new had recorded had vanished ,the schedule was empty ,although programmes were already recorded there.in despair i done a factory reset,hoping that this would sort out the problem,but no the problem still persists.please can anybody get my pvr working again.

Firstly you are using OK to set the recording reservation from the epg and choosing either series or one off recordings ?. (not the red record button)

Also check that you have not applied auto padding from the menus as this disables accurate recording.

hi thanks for the quick reply,i am using the epg for recording and am using series for recording series and record once for single programmes.i use the ok button to confirm recoding,and i have not applied auto padding,once again thanks for the quick reply.

Both Corries recorded fine on my box. (ITV1-HD Granada)

Go into the setup menu, Press Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Green, Yellow, Blue in succession.

In the menu that comes up Check Antenna Setting says - Fixed and Connection type is - Two Cables(Same).

If incorrect make a note of your recording schedule and either do a factory reset or change the connection type in the above menu after first checking the two coax cables are on the outer connections with the centre one having nothing connected.

On the reset you should see a two cables found message.

Check two tuner operation by starting an instant recording on BBC1-HD, start a second on BBC-HD. Check you can view and live pause any other channel.
