I am set up to get a signal from Crystal Palace
For some reason my new BT Youview box will not record programmes.
I can watch them live on the box, I can record them on my DVD recorder and on my TV, which are all daisy chained together.

I go to the guide, select the programme, press the "R" button and then the back button to escape. The "R" symbol appears against the programme. I leave the box switched on. should I put it in standby ?

Any ideas as to why it is failing to record?

Many thanks

from what i can see, either your signal is the main problem (that would explain the other problem on the other thread regarding not being about to use on demand players)

what are the signal quality via the settings tab?

I pressed the record button on the programme I was watching at the time , and subsequently a couple more at random.

These all worked !!

As I have now reset the box [ see other thread ] I have done this again and await the results.

Regarding your question I get a very good signal via a mast head amplifier and a distribution system. I have set the BT Youview box as the first item in a five box /TV daisy chain.

I will keep posted with the next set of recording results
