I was watching live TV through my PVR last night when my phone rang, so I hit record. I carried on watching it later, but about ten minutes before the end it went from the programme to a blue screen, where it said it was loading, then it went back to my list of recorded programmes. Any ideas as to what happened, please?

Bad spot in the file causing the playback to crash out.

You may find you can restart it and move to the point just after it failed and see the end.

Belated thanks for that. I got out the netbook and caught it on i-player, but it's nice to know that I should be able to see the end, if it happens again.
