I know this is an old model (picked up for £30), but I've an issue with the recording with this box.

Wednesday night, I recorded a film off BBC1. It recorded twice - the main recording on BBC1 West and another recording on BBC1 Wales (I'm based in the South West).

Whenever I hover or even click on the failed BBC1 wales recording, it freezes the box. I tried to delete, but failed. I don't want to re-format as I've recorded series of programmes I am yet to watch.

Any ideas please?

Any!
I don't own one of these but it looks as though there have been a lot of issues with some of the earlier software. Is the software up to date?

Hi,

it's the most recent software update which sadly is 2011, as I checked the info. I've done a factory reset, but the recording still freezes the box when I click past it.
