It was fine up to a couple of days ago. I've got all the channels & 14 day info etc but when I press the pause button, all I get is an exclamation mark pop up on the screen (!) I've looked in the manuel but can't find anything in troubleshooting, other than this could happen if I were recording something but I am not. Any ideas guys?

My guess is a faulty hard drive.
My one in the kitchen does it every now and then along with a message on screen saying "you have a non usable hard drive " or something like that --- only seen the message once.
Power off the mains -- wait 5 minutes and power on again.
It could also be a dieing power supply --- bad capacitors.

I tried unplugging it from the mains & left it for prob about 20mins then plugged it back, rescanned channels back in but still ff, rw, rec & pause not working. Does anyone know any other things I could try?

Sorry to hear you are still having problems.
I tried recording on my kitchen one today and failed ----- the reason being the hard drive was full as I had not deleted anything for ages.
It was showing as 0% available.
Maybe yours is the same??

Hi oscar1, my hard drive wasn't full but I thought I'd do a factory reset as a last try before ordering myself a new DTR. Well after the reset, still the functions were not working - just a (!) on the screen when I pressed the buttons on the remote. That was a couple of days ago. Last night we were watching Sherlock & my son 'paused' it so I could go & make a cup of tea. Hang on! Yes! The 'pause' was working & all of the functions were back!! Strange, the factory reset must have done the trick. Will see how it goes. All good at the mo

And just to show how utterly unreliable the boxes are-----I set the one in the lounge to record the Moto1 and Moto2 bikes on 301.
Suprise ,suprise the record light was lit when I got home at 5.30pm -- hours after it should have gone off-- and no recordings.
A power cycle was needed which resulted in a message saying "sorry to miss your recording but we hope you enjoy your other recordings".
The "iffy" box in the kitchen recorded the bikes so all was not lost.
Regards
