O.K. For a couple of days i've had Monk (bbc2) and Working lunch(bbc2) sitting in the schedule list waiting to pick up the next episode. (monk is in the guide for sat 29th, w.l. off air for a bit). This morning (26th) Mad Men, Dirty Sexy Money and a couple of others were all sitting there with yesterdays date on.

I checked the guide and next weeks episodes were there, so I thought this is a data problem but on 4 of yesterdays progs ?.

Anyway I switched the box off/on and as the guide reloaded the schedule updated. Working Lunch and Mad Men however, vanished completely.

Working lunch is off air so annoying but ok

Mad Men was in the guide so I tried to schedule it but according to the box I had Comedy Cuts scheduled twice, i deleted this entry and could then schedule both recordings.

weird !

Do you mean using the rocker switch at the back, not simply putting it in standby?

There is a link between a power-cycle and SR timers disappearing, but it is not consistent (repeatable). There are other factors for disappearing SR timers also, but we still don't know what...

tried standby and no effect.
I used the rocker switch to clear the epg
Its the fact that the box didn't update the schedule that concerned me and it couldn't have been a data problem as reloading the epg wouldn't have had an effect
