well i have Made In Chelse set to series record for OH, and last night it also recorded made in chelse come dine wi me special??? weird...

i also have You've been scammed on series record and all has been well apart from today, i come home and it has failed to record, i have my hdr 1000s thru a network switch so i know when its on and when its off, well come home today and the light was on on the switch but the box was off, so i switched it on and checked system settings, it says was updated 3rd december probs for new channels, but when i checked signal tuner it was only showing signal on tuner 2, i know it only shows 1 when only 1 is in use but thats usually tuner 1.... anyway switched off and back on and now shows signal on tuner 1.... very strange.....

The way the box allocates the current tuner when only one is in use is a tad mysterious. I guess if tuner 1 records longer than tuner 2 then it makes tuner 2 the active one otherwise if you were using it you would lose the buffer if it changed back to tuner 1. After the power sequence reverts to tuner 1.

At a guess the two recordings were down to same series crid allocated by channel 4.

Set a power on timer (I use BBC1-HD) at 05:00 and power off timer at 05:15. Known bug seems to fail first recording of the day if a reboot doesn't precede the recording.

power on as in set the box to actually come on then off, its first failed recording i have had will check tomorro see if it fails again and if so then will do as u suggest, i have had the box since release so bit strange how it just happened now.... also i am not sure if this is the box but quite often when i first switch on after a bit the box goes funny and the screen goes as if the tv has had aerial pulled out just full snow.... hoping get software update very soon
