Are you sure it was really recording ITV HD?
I have, however, had something similar happen before. It would seem to be quite a coincidence that on both occasions the box recorded in SD rather than the HD it was set for. If it happens again I'll check the recording. |

I would suggest that, when you set an ITV HD recording, you double (perhaps triple) check that the HDR has actually scheduled the recording to be in HD. Then, if it records in SD, you could report it here together with as much of the circumstances as you can, e.g. which ITV region did you set it from, when you set the recording, was it a series or indivudual recording, what other recording(s) overlapped with it. It might help track down an obscure problem. |

Further Development of Non Freesat Mode Bug
Further Development of Non Freesat Mode Bug:
I know many people have previously reported that a scan in non Freesat mode wipes out all scheduled recordings but just switching modes does not. I have to report that I'm now finding that just switching modes DOES also wipe out all scheduled recordings. At first I thought it was just me, but its done it twice now, wiped out every schedule and I haven't re-scanned. |

You don't have to re-scan for it to wipe a channel after just switching. You only have to do something as simple as move the position (re-order) of a given channel in the channel list or even delete one you don't need, THEN it wipes out your schedule. If you just switch back and forth without upsetting either the channel list numbering (non-freesat) or the EPG (freesat) it won't wipe the schedule. I've proved this repeatedly.

I've found that if you're watching something that is still recording then as soon as the recording finishes, it jumps to live tv, rather than just carrying on with playing back what's been recorded.
So, it's five minutes to go and the game is getting very tense........... Oh, no, sorry, it's all over, the Irish have won! ![]() I'm not frowning because the Irish won, just the fact that it jumped to the live picture. I will now read past carvell's post to see what other people have said about this situation, but it took me 1/2 hour to get that far ![]() Great piece of kit though! |

Rugby Ruined!
Mart,
Exactly the same happened to me - 19 minutes left, fantastic match... Flicker...Ireland have won the Grand Slam. Only another 61 years to wait for the next one. Perhaps they will have fixed the bugs by then though ![]() Actually I do quite like the Humax apart from the issues everyone else reports . And at least I understand why this problem happened now. However, I reported this to Humax and they just told me to do a factory reset And I thought that being told to reformat and reinstall at the first sign of trouble was limited to Microsoft support!Andy |

Chase play or watching a recording??
Quote:
Wish I had read this thread before Saturday. Had the (Irish) parents-in-law round on Saturday to enjoy the Wales/Ireland rugby game in HD on my new Foxsat PVR. For whatever reason, I was recording the game but had started to watch it live and then paused it at some point.

Sorry confused here. Just to confirm you were watching the game in chase play mode? You were also recording it? When the actual recording stopped you were dumped out to the live feed, correct. If this is true why didn't you just watch the recording, i.e FF to the bit you were dumped out and watch the rest???
Or am I missing something? Woolfynorm. But, to Gaseous's point, Woolfynorm, it wouldn't have been the same knowing the outcome. So, you are spot-on in a pure technical sense, but please appreciate the emotional trauma ![]() Anyway, if, as indicated, this wouldn't have been a problem if I had watched the recording then I know what to do in future! |

Series Linking has wrong name
I have two series links set up for recording the F1 qualifying/race (BBC1) and highlights (BBC3). The series links have updated for next weeks Bahrain grand prix however whereas the highlights link has updated its name to reflect it's the Bahrain Grand Prix the qualifying/race link still states the Chinese Grand Prix. Pressing info does give the correct name and checking the EPG also shows it has the correct name it's just the schedule drecording list thats giving misleading information
