Perhaps it's not going into non-Freesat mode which causes the schedule to be wiped, but bringing the schedule itself up in that mode. If you do so, it shows blank (naturally since the schedule isn't supported in that mode) ... but maybe this wipes it too. (Perhaps bringing up the Guide does the same.)
The schedule whilst in non freesat mode is unavailable so it doesn't erase the schedule from freesat mode Okay now the guide I've just tested this and it doesn't remove schedules from my stb either |

Though when I switch modes, this doesn't generally happen, I'm sure I've been bitten by this once or twice. As a result I'm now very wary of going into non-Freesat mode.
I have a theory -- but with a full schedule I haven't yet tested it. Perhaps it's not going into non-Freesat mode which causes the schedule to be wiped, but bringing the schedule itself up in that mode. If you do so, it shows blank (naturally since the schedule isn't supported in that mode) ... but maybe this wipes it too. (Perhaps bringing up the Guide does the same.) I'll test this when I can be bothered to reset all my timers; unless someone else can confirm my theory first! ![]() |

As far as I know it's only doing some form of channel scan in non freesat mode (full or manual) deletes your timers. Anything else has no effect.
... of course, I also thought you could bring up the Schedule in non-freesat mode, so what do I know? <g> |

It is possible to use guide and then press the yellow button in non-freesat mode but mine just reported that there was no data available I presume thats because I've not made any manual reservations

Very strange I have done this loads of time and never lost a single reservation. Have you a standard 2 cable install, a 1 cable install with loop, or just a single cable with no loop ?

(sorry for triple post- if a mod could delete the one above I'd be grateful). |

That isn't the case with me. To test, I even went into non-freesat mode and just skipped through a couple of the channels then back again to freesat mode and schedule wiped. I never checked the schedule in non-freesat mode.
Switched to non freesat mode, pressed guide changed to freesat version of BBC HD. Pressed guide and the schedule (It say's not available). Exit To BBC HD. Changed back to Freesat mode - schedule still there. Changed back to non freesat mode switched off, switched on again, recorded around a minute of BBC HD in non freesat mode. Switched back to Freesat mode, reservations still there. I wonder if it's a disc space thing as if you look at the drive on a pc the reservations are found on the hard drive. My Foxsat has 8% used of a 1Tb drive. (I only ever record HD as I have 2 freeview pvrs) |

I remember when I first discussed the issue (it may have been on the bugs thread- can't remember) someone suggested resetting and going back to factory defaults. That didn't help either. |

After the third time, I swore I wouldn't use non-freesat again.
Since I've been unable to get it to wipe the schedule today (despite repeated attempts), and because this is a good time to be watching CNN, I'll start using non-freesat mode again. Though I can accept that I might be mistaken, I was clearly pretty sure at the time it happened without a scan or I wouldn't have stopped using non-freesat altogether. So, I do think this can happen under some circumstances, however obscure. |

Back on-topic, anyone know when the next update is due? Presumably it will be bug fixes at this stage rather than features.
