You're in luck, she's out this coming Monday.

I have done this frequently for years on my 9200 without problems (well except for the random occasional failure that happens under any circumstances on all PVRs). I'm currently running two 9200s both recording the 3 soaps so more often than not one of them is in standby

I don't think anyone is disputing that a 9200 will make consecutive recordings. The issue being debated is whether a 9150/9300 running 1.00.26 has a problem doing this under certain circumstances. There have been several posts since 1.00.26 claiming there is a problem but none that seemed to me to have enough carefully researched evidence to be conclusive.
The evdence from me is for a 9150. It is set to record Emmerdale and Coronation Street on series link. We never set it to record any other soap. If it records from "standby" on Mondays, it usually misses the second Coronation Street. If it is set to "on", it records both Coronation Streets. On Fridays, it records both Coronation Streets from standby. When there are two Emmerdales on the same night, it records both of those.
I can't explain its actions. I can only tell you what happens.
If other users are seeing the same, at least I will know I am not going mad!

Chatting to my friend last night she says she's been going out Monday evening every 4 weeks for longer than she's had the 9300. She has Emmerdale and Corro set on Series-Link and really can't remember having a problem apart from just after New Year. That problem was more widespread so I think can be attributed to another mystery. Of course this coming Monday when she's out next sod's law will apply.
Thanks for all the helpful comments.
In my case I took the retune suggestion and it worked.
But first I realigned my tv antenna. It had been blown round 30 degrees. As there was no break up of the picture and Quality was reported as 100% and strenght as 61% I did not think it necessary to re align.
After realigning strength was reported as 81%.
So yesterday it recorded two scheduled pprogrammes starting from just the time showing on the display. I assume this is standby mode.

Sounds like STANDBY. I assume you found my Manual Search instructions, I posted them again last night here with a very small modification to the text but nothing to affect you.

Are there any other recordings scheduled at the same time as the consecutive soap recordings on a Monday?

No. ( I have to write more here. Two characters is apparenty too short )

OH! I see. My apologies. Thanks for correcting me.

I'm beginning to think there might be some truth in this. My friend has done three tests of three consecutive recordings on her 9300 running v26. All were under Accurate-Recording (AR) control, single programme reservations and done from STANDBY. The first test on Channel 4 worked fine, see posts #18 and #19. The second test on ITV3 failed to record the third programme. The third test on ITV3 failed to record the second programme. All schedule entries disappeared from the schedule as they should after the recordings but there was no evidence anywhere of the missing recordings. She has set another test of three consecutive recordings for tonight on BBC1.
It should be noted however that her normal schedule of recordings work fine, some with the 9300 in STANDBY but most from ON, and they include four consecutive recordings on Mondays from ITV1.

Thanks for getting these tests done. If we can find a recording sequence which consistently fails on several different machines, perhaps it will help Humax to fix the problem.

All three programmes recorded successfully.
Tonight she has the three ITV1 soaps, two consecutive and one single, using Series-Link. Also four consecutive recordings from BBC3, the two Family Guys and the two American Dads using single programme reservation. All will be recorded from STANDBY.

The ITV1 soaps recorded correctly. Of the four Family Guy / American Dad consecutive recordings the first American Dad failed to record. All of the programmes recorded correctly on my v23 9200 recording under the same conditions as my friend's v26 9300.
Tonight she has set four consecutive recordings from Channel 4. All are single programme reservations and will be recorded from STANDBY.
I have a JVC TV with an internal Humax PVR. I received a software update a couple of weeks ago, and now it will not record from standby.
Friday's Emmerdale ( x1 ) and Coronation Street ( x2 ) recorded OK from standby. This is normal for me.

If you've not retired for the night could you schedule the same Channel 4 programmes that we have. Four consecutive programmes starting at 03:10 with Brothers and Sisters and ending with Countdown, single programme reservations and recording from STANDBY.

I thought @Luis Essex had managed to post a reply of two letters and was querying the need to pad the reply.
Then when quoting his post, have discovered it includes code which invisibly pads the post

Sorry: I had retired for the night.
Is there anything you want me to set for recording tonight ( Sunday/Monday )? I can do some tests, although I might not be able to tell you the results until Monday evening.
The most consistent failure for me is the 8.30pm Coronation Street on Mondays.
The only recordings set for Monday are: Emmerdale on series link from ITV1; Coronation Street on series link from ITV1; 9.30pm Coronation Street on single event from ITV1+1. If I was a betting man, I would put money on the failure of the 8.30pm ITV1 Coronation Street. ( That's why I've set a back up on ITV1+1 ).

All four programmes recorded correctly.
