DTR160 Missed 2 recording
DTR160. This morning setup EPG for record 3x30 min programs
1. Ch 4 2 & 3 ITV 2 back to back Digihome recorded No1 but did not record 2 & 3. Checking the EPG 2 & 3 were still marked RED and they were still listed in Timer, but had not recorded. I'll give it another month, but it looks like a return back to Argos. |

creddish I'm reasonably new to PVR's, but if as you say should it still record something when the EPG program is marked RED...even if the program timing is out ?

Colin. Understood. So in fact my PVR should have recorded from the indicated EPG in RED even if the timing was a little out.
Reading some the Forums relating to other brands, they all appear to have problems of one sort or another. I appreciate your feedback and I'm on Skype if even you want a few free words PC to PC. Graham. |

about 29m 45-55s for half hour programmes and 59m 45-55s for one hour programmes. (Yes I have noticed that).
Tried my first manual recording last night through the timer which worked fine, but could not find away of naming the recording, it just gives the name of channal. I Must be missing something as I can't see an option in the menu to name a program. |

I Must be missing something as I can't see an option in the menu to name a program. Generally though, I should emphasize at how unusual it is for a Vestel T810 or T816 to miss a recording - despite their quirks and bugs, the one thing that could be said was that they were almost bullet proof when it came to recording (unlike my old Sagem that only recorded things that I wanted when it felt like it). Unfortunately, it seems the T825 software is not so reliable in this regard, which has to be the worst flaw of a PVR. I'll be sending an e-mail to Vestel regarding the T825, essentially suggesting they pull their finger out, because the software really is well below par at the moment. |

Your QUOTE. On some of the occasions I was in to observe the HDD spinning up at the record start times, only for it spin down again a minute or so later without recording anything. I then turned the TV and PVR on and went to the EPG to find the programme was still underlined in red, yet it wasn't recording.
YES, exactly the same situation here. 2X30 min programs (Judge Judy) backtoback on ITV2. No other prgrams involved at that time. |

My DTR160 continues to miss the same recordings set into the timer. ITV2 JudgeJudy 10.25-11.25 these are 2X30 mins back to back.
I happen to be in the room today watching and the problem is if I press record it just gives the message (Program Already Recording) when in fact it isn't. Can't stop this as there is nothing progressing in the LIB to delete, plus can't remove RED line from EPG until the recording time is completed. For today's program same details I have set it in Manual Timer to see if this is successful. |

Just to confirm the program added in the Manual Timer did record the ITV2 JudgeJudy morning program. Why highlighting the same program in EPG has not previously recorded on three mornings is a mystery ???
