You are on firmware version .37 aren't you Mark, as those are some of the bugs that were present on the old firmware but have now been fixed?

Mind you the recordings planner is a real dogs breakfast and needs some serious sorting out. All the endless scrolling and confusing page numbers, what's that all about?

Good to hear the issues are being ironed out. I will start to give this box some serious consideration now.

Initials are not my strong suit.
Anyway I love/have freeview and freesat both.just the current implementation leaves me cold still. The niggles mentioned here would drive me nuts everyday. And to pay a premium pricefor it? Noooo |

My Samsung rebooted again during a recording playback yesterday so I ordered the 1Tb HDR-1000S which arrived this morning.
It already has 1.0.0.37 dated 18/02/13 I note the mains plug has a 13amp fuse in it when for the size of flex it should be a 3amp which I have now fitted. 1st recording seems to work but I note in the guide the logo for BBC 2 HD still says BBC HD. Also am I correct in assuming that if a program on CHN4 is also in HD that it does not offer to record that? Automan. |

Yes your correct about Channel4/4HD as channel 4 choose not to add the appropriate data to the program info to tell the box what to do. |

Thanks for that info...
My first problem, I bring the box out of standby but my LG TV tells me there is no signal on that HDMI input (Unit does display channel name on front).A Google search shows this can be a problem and more so when it is recording so I guess I will have to wait till recording stops or head for the loft for a scart cable ![]() I had set the picture to 1080p Automan. |

Try changing the TV to it's own tuner and back to the hmi input. Does the box changethe displayed channel if you use the remote channel up/down buttons ? Does this bring back the pictures ? |

I tried changing HDMI inputs to other active ones, to the TV internal Freeview tuner and turning the TV off all with no luck (also tried unplugging the HDMI cable).
The HDR1000 did indicate a channel change but with no picture ![]() Unit had stopped recording but had not yet gone asleep so I unplugged it from the mains and I now have a picture again. I will change the video out from 1080p to 1080i to see if that helps next time... BTW, does the TV/AV button on the remote have any function? I see no mention of it in the manual. Automan. |

Automan.[/QUOTE] Doesn't do anything, whether it will in the future I haven't a clue

Seems to have been better since I set 1080i rather than 1080p
Perhaps I should change it back and see what happens? I think it has recorded all my requested programs okay but I think the units calculation whether a recordings has been watched completely or not needs a tweak. An option to turn off the scrolling program title would also be nice ![]() Automan. |

A Big Thumbs Down...
Just got in at 21:00 and tried to bring the box out of standby. It just stuck saying on the display "free time" with no TV picture but no a "No Signal" message. Finally gave up and unplugged from mains and it then responded better. However every recording since last night has failed giving the same start and end time. 15 failed recordings to be precise ![]() Not sure if any of my other PVR's has been this bad... EDIT: If it is related the last thing it recorded was on 5. CSI Crime Scene Investigation. It made a recording 2hr20m15s long which is of course longer than a episode (and two were on back to back). Automan. |
