Being dumped out of the buffer.

Higherly impressed that my wife is finding the 9200T so easy to use that it was her that experienced this problem.

Last night she went into the EPG and set a record flag on 'What not to wear' on BBC1.
At about 8.35 she could not find anything else worth watching, so rewond the buffer on BBC1 and started to watch the programme.
At 8.59 when the EPG recording ended, she was thrown out of the buffer back to live BBC1, despite only being half way through the rewond buffer.
The buffer was then empty and she had to find the correct spot in the EPG recording to continue watching the programme.

I know previous replies on this thread have talked about adding 10+ minutes to the instant record settings. But the problem of being thrown out of buffer viewing when the schedule EPG recording of the same programme ends, is definitely a problem.

Do any of our more advance 9200T users have a solution or a 'work-around'?

The only work-around as far as I can see is to do what your wife and I both did when experiencing the glitch (I wouldn't call it any stronger than that) ie wait till the live transmission is completed, then watch the missing minutes from the scheduled recording.

Odd that so few of us have experienced this problem as you sdesign and I have reported it.

Or stop and re-start the recording (if it hasnt finished) and start watching the part thats in the playlist. When thats finished watch the other part from the playlist. My work around until you can watch a recording that is still being recorded.

Yes, sorry Marc, I was a little loose in describing that work-around. In fact, since it's the termination of the scheduled recording that causes the glitch in the first place, you don't have to wait for it to finish, since it will already be there in the playlist. Hence you can go straight to the recording immediately you are 'dumped' from the buffer. That's why I look on it as only a minor glitch.

Right you are Barry

Yes, I think people are getting confused. The buffer is dumped when the scheduled recording ends. So, the workaround is to open the recording from the playlist and find the place you left off. I reported it to Humax by email but they haven't replied. I've experienced this problem 4 or 5 times in the last couple of weeks. We really need this problem sorted as its a real pain. Can those that have seen it please email Humax so they don't think its just me, otherwise they might not look into it
